Earthwork in Doonmeegin, County Sligo

What is recorded here

In level poorly drained pasture, between drumlins. This earthwork has been levelled and only a slight rise in the field indicates its location. It was indicated only on the 1944 OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped raised area (30m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) projecting to SW from the bank of a stream. The area immediately to S has been quarried and adjacent spoil heaps are evident.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL033-164
