On a gentle N-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. c. 21.5m) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m). A fosse is indicated SSW-NNW on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map but is not now evident. The interior slopes down slightly to N. A hollow (3m x 3m; D 0.1m) immediately N of the centre of the interior may indicate a possible souterrain (SL038-112002-). The 8th-century Moylough belt shrine was found in a turf bog, c. 250m to E, in 1945 and is now in the NMI (Youngs 1989, 59).
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).
