What is recorded here

Raftery (1974, 73) recorded a 'tumulus' (diam. c. 21m) on a rise surrounded by an earthen bank, 1.6km N of Kilmactranny. This is not visible at ground level. There is a ring-barrow (SL035-090----) c. 100m to NW which was named 'tumulus' on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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 Bronze Age barrow; its association with a nearby ring-barrow suggests a ritual or funerary landscape.
