In pasture, on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. A raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 1.65m; ext. H 0.5m) N-E and by a scarp (H 0.4-1.75m) elsewhere. An external fosse (D 0.6m) is evident N-E; elsewhere the line of the fosse is marked by 4m wide band of dark-coloured grass. Due to the natural slope, external ground level is higher than the level of the interior NE-ESE. The SW portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope though it still retains a slight slope down to SW. The interior is clear of overgrowth. A field boundary indicated to N on the 1941 OS 6-inch map has been removed.
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).
