In poorly drained rush-covered grazing, on top of a narrow ridge. A slightly raised circular area (6.7m N-S; 6.6m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) has a low internal face. The fosse (Wth 2m) is shallow and flat-bottomed and marginally raised above exterior ground level. The outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident as a low compact rise with a well-defined external face. The overall diameter is 15m N-S and 15.5m E-W and it is almost completely engulfed in rushes. A ring-barrow (SL047-071----) lies c. 55m to E. This ring-barrow is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
