In pasture, on top of a drumlin. A raised oval area (int. diam. 28.3m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by three concentric earthen banks with intervening fosses. Remains of stone facing is evident on the inner face of the inner bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 1.1m; H 1.5m). The first intervening fosse measures 5.7m in width. The middle bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) is incorporated into a field boundary system along the SW arc. The second intervening fosse measures 6.1m in width. The outer bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m) survives along the E and S arcs. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at NE with a causeway across the fosses. The interior is uneven and slopes down to N. A NE-SW field boundary crosses the SE quadrant of the interior.
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).
