What is recorded here

In pasture, on top of a natural rise. A circular area (diam. 3.4m) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.3m). A slight reduction in the height of the bank along the W arc may indicate an entrance. The inner face of the bank slopes gently down towards the interior leaving only a small level central area (diam. 0.65m). There is no trace of the fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.6m) which was evident along the N arc during a previous inspection (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly). Listed by Farrelly and Keane (2002, 98). 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).

A Neolithic embanked barrow; likely dates to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Such barrows are significant as early funerary monuments, reflecting communal burial practices and social organisation in prehistoric Ireland.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
