On a gentle S-facing slope. When inspected in 1994 it consisted of a slightly raised circular area (28m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.75m). A dry flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 6m) was evident all round. A flat-topped outer earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.45m; ext. H 0.75m) was evident SSE-NW. There was a field boundary on the line of the outer bank NW-NE. A causewayed entrance (Wth 2.2m) was at E. The interior was covered in bracken and brambles and there is a souterrain (SL043-001002-) in the NW quadrant. An earthwork (SL043-002----) lies c. 100m 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).
