In gently undulating pasture. A fragmented pattern of field boundaries, covering an area c. 300m x c. 400m, is visible in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AJR 22) as low linear field boundaries underlying the modern field system. This relict field system is on a NE-SW axis while the overlying system is generally on a N-S axis. Traces of low earthen banks (Wth 2m; H 0.5m), with corresponding fosses (D 0.3m), are visible on the ground. A rectangular enclosure (SL033-075002-) lies within this field system. A large circular enclosure (SL033-077001-) and three raths (SL033-076----; SL033-077002-; SL033-078----) lie immediately to the W and N. Another relict linear field boundary (Wth 2.6m; H c. 0.4m; L c. 300m) on a NNW-SSE axis, with a fosse (D 0.2m) on its E side, cuts through the circular enclosure (SL033-077001-) and two of the raths (SL033-076----; SL033-077002-).
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).
