In rough undulating pasture, on a S-facing slope. An oval area (c. 30m x c. 25m) enclosed by a ruinous earth and stone bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.55m). The entrance (Wth 2m) is at S. The interior is crossed by a lane on a N-S axis off-centre to W and by a stone field boundary off-centre to E. The SE arc of this enclosure, which is on the E side of the field boundary, is within the N half of a second enclosure (SL035-094002-).
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).
