What is recorded here
On the steep N-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly oval area (26m N-S; 31m E-W) terraced into the hillside, with the S half up to 1.6m below and the N half 0.6-1m above the external ground level. The interior is defined by a wall (Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) composed of a core of small stones faced with large blocks of stone. The wall has been rebuilt in parts as a field boundary. The interior slopes down to N and there is a Man-made underground passage (SL036-050002-) in the NW quadrant.
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).
