Barrow

In gently undulating pasture, on a slight E-facing slope. A conical grass-covered mound (diam. 9m; H 2m). A slight lip is visible around the base of the mound NNE-S, consisting of a level terrace (Wth 1.2m; ext. H 0.25m). At S the mound has been dug into revealing a compact sod layer and a shattered stone and clay core (pers. comm. J. Farrelly and M. Keane). Known locally as 'Corran'. A ring-barrow (SL033-051----) lies c. 50m to ENE. 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).

Bowl barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE). These monuments are significant as they represent some of the earliest known funerary earthworks in the British Isles, often associated with elite burials and ritual activity.
