What is recorded here

Situated on the shore of Lough Owel on WSW facing slope of rising ground with good views from SW-NW. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as an oval shaped enclosure annotated as ‘fort’. A railway line (Sligo Branch of the MGWR) running N-S cuts through the site; only the E side of the monument survives. All that is now visible is semi-circular area (approx. diam. 50m N-S), enclosed by an arc of earthen bank curving from N-E-SE. The remains of a field fence running E-W, which is also the boundary with Portnashangan intersects the N perimeter of the monument.
