In pasture, on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. An oval area (18.8m N-S; 14.6m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) with gaps at N and S. An external fosse (Wth 2.5; D 0.4m) is evident NE-E and an external step (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) along the outer edge of the bank SW-NW. There is a step (Wth 1m; H 1.8m) along the inside of the bank NE-SE. The E portion of the level interior is cut into the hillside and the W portion is raised 0.55m above external ground level to compensate for the hillslope. The perimeter is overgrown with bushes.
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).
