On a break in a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. A raised roughly circular area (32m N-S; 34.2m E-W) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2.5m) which has been rebuilt along its S arc. A dry flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 6.5m) separates the inner drystone wall from an earthen counterscarp bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 2m; ext. H 1.45m). The bank is revetted in parts externally on the E side by drystone walling. The interior is level and there is a souterrain (SL036-014002-) in the NW quadrant. A rath (SL036-015----) lies c. 80m to E.
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).
