In rough grazing, on a break in an E-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A slightly raised circular area (26m N-S; 26.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.9m) with numerous cattle gaps. The external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m) is evident along the NW and ENE arcs, with the N arc only visible as boggy ground outlined by rushes. The entrance (Wth 1.1m) is at NE, revetted by large stones. The grass-covered interior slopes gently down to NE and is broken by rock outcrop in places. A WNW-ESE field boundary bisects the interior. A drain extends downhill to E from the fosse at NE.
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).
