In rough pasture, on a level terrace at the break of slope at the NW end of a ridge. There are excellent views though overlooked to NW by Kesh Corann Hill. One of a linear cluster of barrows (SL040-130002-; SL040-131----, SL040-132----). A circular area (3m NE-SW; 3.4m NW-SE; H 0.25m) defined by a fosse (Wth 1m) with an external bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m). Although low and degraded the defining features are distinct with the central platform and the bank marked by a rich growth of grass. An embanked barrow (SL040-130002-) is immediately to NE with a possible causeway linking both barrows. A ring-barrow (SL040-131----) lies c. 50m upslope to SE and an embanked barrow (SL040-132----) c. 100m to SE on the level summit of the ridge.
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).
