Barrow, mound barrow

What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A roughly circular raised area (12m N-S; 13.6m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.1m). The interior, which is raised to compensate for the hillslope, is level and clear of overgrowth with some hawthorn bushes on the scarp at S. 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 roughly circular mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction reflects early funerary practices in the region, though its wider significance remains unrecorded.
