On the summit of a bog-island. A heavily overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6m; max. int. H 1.2m) along the N, S and W arcs. An intervening flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.7m) survives all round. An outer bank is evident along the NE and E arcs. A drystone wall is built on top of the outer bank along the NE arc. A collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.3m; original Wth c. 1.2m; max. int. H 0.5m; ext. H c. 0.75m) is evident along the S arc. The entrance is in the E arc. An enclosure (SL032-151----) is c. 15m to WSW in the adjoining field.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
