In rough poorly drained pasture, with forestry to N and W and on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (20m E-W; 17m N-S) enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.2m) with numerous gaps. A band of rushes (Wth 3m) may the indicate line of an external fosse. A possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) is at SW. There are rushes and irises in the interior and the perimeter is overgrown with scrub. 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).
