In gently undulating pasture, to S of a steep cliff-edge and within a field system (SL033-070----). An arc (C 18m E-W) of earthen bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.55m to base of fosse) NE-W abuts a drystone field boundary wall (T 0.65m; H 0.95m) to enclose a semicircular area (dims. 10m SSE-NNW) with a straight NW side (L 18m). A shallow external fosse (D 0.25m) is evident NE-E and S-SW. There are no visible remains of the fort on the N side of the wall which is 4 to 9m in from the cliff-edge.
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).
