In pasture, on top of a narrow ridge on Inch Island, in the E side of Lough Gara. A circular area (int. diam. 38m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m) along the S arc and by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) elsewhere. The interior is generally level; the E edge is crossed by a N-S field boundary and lazy-beds are visible on a NNW-SSE axis. An irregular pile of earth and stone was noted in the interior, 3m to the W of the field boundary. A rectangular enclosure (SL047-005002-) lies 4m 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).
