In level pasture. A raised oval area (29.2m N-S; 33.8m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.75m) with numerous gaps. An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 0.3m) is evident SW-NE and SE-S. A silted-up pond adjoins the fosse at NW. The interior is raised 0.5-0.75m in height above external ground level, is mostly grass-covered except for the S portion which is overgrown with hawthorn bushes. 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).
