In wet pasture, on top of a drumlin ridge. A circular raised area (int. diam. 17m N-S; 16.9m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank is best preserved along the S arc (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.15m; ext. H 0.95m). The fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.1m) is evident along the E arc, is mostly silted-up elsewhere though marked by a growth of irises. The entrance (Wth 1.7m) is in the S arc, with a ramp (L 2.9m) and causeway across the fosse. The interior slopes gently down 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).
