In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a low drumlin; closely enclosed by four field boundaries at NE, SE, SW and NW. A raised circular area (int. diam. 30m N-S; 28.6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.5m) along the E arc and by a scarp elsewhere. The interior, which slopes down to E, is partially quarried into at W. 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).
