On a low rise in bogland. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) NE-NW and by a scarp NW-NE. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6.5m; D 0.5m) is evident SE-NE. A N-S field boundary crosses the fosse and bank at S leading into the centre of the interior where there is a central cairn of stones (diam. c. 1m). There is a souterrain (SL037-078002-) in the NW quadrant adjacent to the scarp. The interior is poached by cattle and is densely covered with overgrowth as well as damaged by badger setts. There is a small quarry to NE and a field boundary clips the fosse at W and S.
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).
