Barrow

In pasture, just below the summit of a ridge, on a S-facing slope. This possible ring-barrow which was noted by M. A. Timoney (pers. comm.) has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. The surrounding field boundaries have also been levelled. It was one of four barrows (SL032-071----; SL032-220----; SL032-224----) on the same ridge. 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 ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, representing a type of burial monument common in Atlantic Europe. Its presence indicates prehistoric funerary activity in the Carnyara area, though its specific significance remains unclear due to lack of visible remains.
