In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a rise. An oval area (27m N-S; 22.7m E-W) enclosed by the remains of two earthen banks with intervening and external fosses. The inner bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m) is flat topped. The intervening fosse (Wth 2.7m) is flat bottomed. The outer bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.75m) is evident NW-NE. A field boundary curves along line of the outer bank from NE-NW. The outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.6m) is evident NW-NE. A rectangular platform (8.5m N-S; 8.8m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m) in the centre of the interior may be the foundations of a house.
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).
