Cliff-edge fort in Barroe Lower

In pasture, on a shelf on a SW-facing slope overlooking Lough Arrow. A roughly D-shaped area (dims. 16m NE-SW; 17m NW-SE) defined on the straight SW side by a drystone field boundary wall, set back slightly from a steep natural slope, and by a moss-covered limestone rubble wall (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.5m) W-SSE. The latter curves N-E but straightens out as it approaches the drystone wall at W and S. The interior is level but lower than external ground level in the NE half and flush with it in the SW half. 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).
