On the S-facing slope of a low rise. A circular area (31.5m N-S; 29.5m E-W) terraced into the hillside with the N arc up to 0.5m below and S arc up to 1.2m above the external ground level. The interior is defined by a flat-topped, earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1m) W-S and by a scarp (H 1.2m) S-W. The remains of a wide flat-bottomed dry fosse (Wth 6m; max. D 0.4m) are evident NE-S. A field boundary which skirts the bank NE-SW has been built in the fosse NE-S. Large boulders have been dumped against the external face of the N bank during the course of farm development. Quarrying is evident along the SW arc.
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).
