In pasture, on top of a narrow ridge on Inch Island in Lough Gara. A rectangular area (int. dims. 9m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.4-0.9m) on the E and W sides and by a scarp (H 0.9m) on the N and S sides. The interior is level and has some overgrowth of thistles and ragworth. Low earthen mounds at the E side of the interior appear to be the result of digging. A rath (SL047-005001-) lies 4m to W. 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).
