In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. An oval area (46m NE-SW; 40.7m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.5m). An external flat-bottomed dry fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.8m) is evident SSE-N. Numerous gaps occur in the bank. The N portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. A field boundary, with a lane and stream beyond, skirts the bank at NE. A second field boundary (on a NNE-SSW axis) crosses the W half of the interior. There is a small disused quarry in the field to E.
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).
