In pasture, on top of a low bluff overlooking a small stream valley, at the W end of a low ridge. A D-shaped area (c. 85m ENE-WSW; c. 95m NNW-SSE) enclosed NW-SW by a slight scarp (H 0.45m) with traces of an internal lip, and on the straight W side by a low bluff (H 3.5m) dropping to a flat strip of ground (Wth 20m E-W) bordering a stream. The scarp is best preserved NW-ENE where it coincides with a natural break of slope, and SSE-SSW where it cuts into a S-facing slope; it is barely discernible E-SE and partially truncated WNW-NW by a number of small quarry pits. A growth pattern outside the scarp at NE may indicate an external fosse. The N half of the interior is fairly level but there is a marked fall of ground from the centre to S and SW following the natural slope. The interior is bisected N of centre by a post-and-wire fence on a roughly E-W axis intersecting at W with a similar fence extending to SSW. A possible internal division on a roughly NW-SE axis is indicated by a growth pattern. 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).
