In rough pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope overlooking the River Moy to NW. An oval area (32.6m NE-SW; 20.4m NW-SE) is defined by a low bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.55m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.4m) NE-SE and elsewhere by a scarp (H 0.9m) with a low internal rim and a shallow external depression (D 0.2m). The W portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The level interior is bisected NE of centre by a low sod-covered bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m) on a NW-SE axis; on the NE side of this bank are traces of cultivation ridges. Five mature beech trees are close to or on the enclosing bank and a few hawthorn bushes and brambles are scattered around the perimeter.
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).
