In pasture, straddling a slight rise at the base of a S-facing ridge. A slightly raised circular area (28.7m N-S; 26.7m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. 0.6m) SW-E and by a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. A possible entrance (Wth 2.7m) is at NE and several other breaks occur in the bank, mostly due to erosion by cattle. A large gap (Wth 7.4m) at N allows machinery access to the interior. An external fosse (Wth c. 2.6m) is evident SW-NW as a shallow depression marked by rushes. The S portion of the interior is raised slightly to compensate for the hillslope though there is still a slight slope 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).
