In pasture, on the gentle W-facing slope of a low rise. A D-shaped area (dims. c. 11m NE-SW), the E half of which is cut into the slope. The interior is defined on the straight SW side (L 22m NW-SE) by a field boundary and a road, by a short section of earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) at SE and elsewhere by a stone-faced rising scarp (H 1.5m). Described by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister in 1911, in an unpublished report, as a 'dilapidated fort cut through by the road' (SMR (1989) file). There is a semicircular hollow (diam. c. 12m) to SE.
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).
