In upland pasture, on a gently sloping terrace on a S-facing slope of the Bricklieve Mountains. Overlooked by the ridge summit to NW but excellent views over Lough Arrow to E. A D-shaped area (dims. 5.5m E-W) with a straight W side (L 7.7m N-S). The interior is enclosed N-S by a sod-covered stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) and on the straight W side by a field boundary. According to local tradition, this enclosure was used as a 'Mass site' during the Penal times while the surrounding area was used as children's burial ground (SL040-163004-) and an assembly site. A cashel (SL040-16301-) lies c. 20m to S.
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).
