On the top of a drumlin ridge. A circular area (int. diam. 27.6m E-W; 26.5m N-S) enclosed by a substantial drystone wall (int. H 1.75m; ext. H 0.5m; Wth 3.4m). The wall is composed of a foundation course of large boulders with internal and external facing and a rubble core. Most of the external facing has been removed and the rubble core has collapsed outwards. A section of the wall at NW has been removed to foundation level, possibly to provide building material for a house close to the NW perimeter. The interior is level. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a complete circular enclosure and on the 1942-3 OS 6-inch map as arc N-SSW.
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).
