Barrow

In rough pasture, on the crest of a drumlin, with commanding views. A circular flat-topped grass-covered mound (diam. 15.5m N-S; H 2.25m) with some stones visible on its surface; the upper part of the mound has indications of quarrying (pers. comm. J. Farrelly and M. Keane). An embanked barrow (SL039-009----) lies c. 190m to N and a ring-barrow (SL039-011----) c. 170m to E. 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).

Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on a prominent drumlin suggests it was a significant ritual or burial site, possibly used by an elite or high-status individual.
