In undulating rough pasture, near the top of the N-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) with remains of a stone kerb visible at intervals around the base of the internal face of the bank. The boggy external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.9m) is filled with rushes. A possible entrance (Wth 1m) is at N. The possible remains of an outer bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) curve around the fosse N-NE. The interior slopes down from S to N and there is a possible souterrain (SL034-069002-) in the W half, adjacent to the bank.
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).
