Barrow

In undulating rocky pasture, on a slight SW-facing slope c. 30m SW of a ring-barrow (SL034-207001-). A roughly circular raised area (diam. 4.6m) defined by an earth and stone bank (ext. H 0.4m) NNE-W and by a scarp elsewhere. Possible stone kerbing was noted along the external base of the bank NNE-E. The ground falls away sharply 4m to SW. 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 Neolithic barrow; its location near a ring-barrow suggests a possible funerary or ceremonial landscape.
