In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular area (23.5m N-S; 21m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 1.9m) SW-SE, the bank is truncated SE-SW by an E-W field boundary. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) is evident SW-SE. Remains of a low counterscarp earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 0.2m) are evident along the outer edge of the fosse SW-W and WNW. The E portion of the interior is cut into the hillslope and the W portion is raised 0.7m above external ground level to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is split level with the W half c. 1m higher than the E half.
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).
