In flat dry pasture, above a gentle S-facing slope down to bog. A raised circular area (31m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m). The interior is slightly concave. According to local information, the interior has been ploughed in the past. A field boundary skirts the scarp E-WSW. The interior is grass-covered and poached by cattle. 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).
