In flat wet pasture, on the W bank of the Owenmore River. A circular area (int. diam. 41m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.6m). The bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) has a possible entrance (Wth 3m) with a causeway and ramp across the fosse at W. Several other gaps were noted in the bank including one at NW (Wth 5m). The interior is grass-covered.
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).
