At the base of the S-facing slope of a ridge with a stream c. 40m to SW. Remains of a circular area (diam. 20m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) with numerous gaps along the E, W and NW arcs and by a scarp (H 0.8m) along the S arc. The NE arc is cut by a NW-SE field boundary. A band of rushes (Wth 3m) probably indicates the line of a silted-up external fosse along the W and E arcs. The interior is covered with rushes and slopes down to S. There is a rectangular grass-covered platform (8m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE; H 0.5m) in the NE quadrant of the interior, abutting the field boundary.
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).
