What is recorded here

On top of the E-facing slope of a ridge, close to the W shore of Lough Arrow. A D-shaped area (c. 20m NW-SE; 20m SW-NE) defined by remnants of an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.2m) along the SW and NW arcs and by a scarp N-E. The straight SE side is defined by a linear field boundary on a NE-SW axis. The interior is covered with overgrowth and strewn with stones. There are no visible remains of the hut site (SL034-195002-) previously recorded in the centre of the interior (SMR (1989) file). 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
