Barrow

In low-lying wet pasture, on a slight SSE-facing slope and c. 100m W of a stream. A roughly circular raised area (12m N-S; 11.4m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m) which is topped by a field boundary ESE-SSW. Possible traces of an external fosse are evident NE-E. The interior is gently undulating, poached by cattle and partially covered with overgrowth. 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).

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its raised scarp and circular form suggest a funerary or ceremonial function typical of burial monuments in lowland wetland landscapes.
