Carn

In pasture, at the E end of the summit of a ridge which affords a panoramic view. A circular sod-covered flat-topped mound of earth and stone (diam. 18.5m at base, 4.8m at top; H 4.2m). A small section of the top of the S edge of the mound has been dug away. The sides are steep and eroding in places. A field boundary (not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map) is immediately to NE. A rath (SL025-034----) lies c. 60m 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).
