In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 19.8m x 18.2m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank and an external fosse. The bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.15m) has numerous gaps and is eroded along the E arc. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at N with a corresponding causeway across the fosse. The fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) is best evident along on the N (upslope) arc. The interior is overgrown with bushes and strewn with sod-covered stones. This is possibly the 'circular earthwork which seems to be sepulchral' mentioned by Wood-Martin (1883-4, 458).
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).
