Earthwork in Doonmeegin

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. 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).
