In a grassy clearing in a coniferous plantation, on the gentle SSE-facing slope of Kesh Corann. A slightly raised subcircular area (c. 21m N-S; 18m E-W) defined NE-SE by slight rise and SE-SW by a broadly slumped scarp (H 0.7m). Elsewhere the enclosing element is less obvious and at N it appears to be truncated by a forestry trench. The interior slopes gently down to S and is covered in rough grass and bisected by several E-W forestry drills. Trees are planted right up to the edge of the enclosure. An external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.3m), noted along the E arc in 1993 (SMR (1989) file), is no longer evident. There is a barrow (SL040-003001-) and a circular enclosure (SL040-003002-) c. 40m to N. A hut site (SL040-005----) lies c. 50m to 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).
