In pasture, on a slight natural rise. An irregular grass-covered mound of earth and stone (c. 8m E-W; c. 10m N-S; H c. 0.8m). A small roughly central stony core (diam. c. 3m; H 0.4m) protrudes above the remainder of the mound. One hawthorn bush grows on the S edge of the mound while a second has fallen on the E side. It is known locally as 'the fairy fort' though its dimensions would preclude it from being a rath and it may be the remains of a barrow. A very slightly curving field boundary lies c. 30m to N.
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).
