Description
In marshy ground, on a slight rise on a NE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (diam. 25.2m N-S; 26.2m E-W) enclosed by two stone-faced earthen banks with an intervening fosse and faint traces of an outer fosse. The stone-faced inner bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m) and intervening fosse (Wth 3.5m) are evident all round. The stone-faced outer bank (Wth 3.4m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident SW-S with a wide gap to N and a possible outer fosse SW-SE. There is a possible entrance at E. The banks are overgrown. 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).

- SL021-219 Enclosure
Description
In pasture, located on a hill, just below the crest of the hill on its S side. Immediately to N, E and S of the enclosure, the slopes of the hill fall steeply into damp-based valleys; the level top of the ridge extends to W. Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch mapping. The outline of a possible enclosure is visible in aerial imagery as a subcircular area (diam. 30-35m) defined on its perimeter at SW−N by a curving cropmark. It is bordered at E by a straight NW−SE field boundary/hedgerow and at S by a straight NE−SW feature/possibly a field drain. There is almost no visible trace at ground level. A slight curving scarp may correspond to the S arc of the possible enclosure; it is clipped at SE by a linear NE−SW field drain, now infilled and indicated by a dark line of dense rushes. Another area of slightly denser vegetation at W may indicate the SW−W arc of the possible enclosure. The N arc cannot be traced, and a NW−SE field fence, engulfed in a blackthorn and hawthorn, cuts across the E edge.
