In pasture, on the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains and c. 90m to S of stream. A roughly circular area (30.5m N-S; 32.5m E-W) enclosed by a partially collapsed drystone wall (Wth 3.1m; int. H 1.75m; ext. H 2.2m) along the E, S and W arcs. A stone field boundary has been built on top of the foundations of a drystone wall along the N arc. The inner and outer faces of the wall are constructed of large rectangular blocks of stone, and the core is filled with smaller stones. A large amount of collapsed stone from the wall now lies in the interior. The entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at SSE, roofed by large lintels. The interior is bisected by a field boundary on a N-S axis. There is a steep natural slope down to S in the N third of the interior. The remainder of the interior is level as it has been raised to compensate for the hillslope. There is a possible souterrain (SL036-037002-) in the interior.
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).
