What is recorded here

In gently undulating pasture on a slight E-facing slope. A slightly raised, roughly semicircular area (6m N-S) defined by a fosse (Wth 1.4m; D 0.2m) NNE-S. A band of light-coloured grass (Wth 2m) outside the fosse may indicate a levelled external bank. There is a barrow (SL033-064001-) in the adjoining field to N. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL033-064
