In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised oval area (int. diam. 26.6m x 23.6m) enclosed by an earthen bank and fosse. A counterscarp bank with a steep-sided inner face is evident along the N arc. The bank (Wth 4.95m; int. H 1.25m), which drops 1.75m to the base of the fosse, has a steep-sided external face and is overgrown with brambles. The fosse (Wth 3.95m) is best evident along the N arc where it is c. 0.3m below the counterscarp bank. The entrance (Wth 1.25m), with a causeway (Wth 3.5m) across the fosse, is at N. The interior is relatively even.
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).
