In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. An oval area (int. diam. 20.8m N-S; c. 25m NE-SW) enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.35m) which is mostly removed along the W arc. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary N-E. An external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.2m) is evident all round except on the N arc where it is infilled. The entrance (Wth 1.5m) is at S with a causeway across the fosse. The interior slopes down to S even though the S portion is raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
