Two modern, cylcindrical stone pillars (diam. of both 0.9m) stand 3m apart on top and close to the N perimeter of an ill-defined circular platorm (SL014-17----). They are located immediately S of the stone wall that bounds the platform on this side. The W pillar (H 2.43m) is constructed of uncoursed rubble stone bonded with mortar, with a slight plinth (T 0.1m) just above ground level. The E pillar (H 1.96m) is also constructed of uncoursed rubble stone and has a stone (L 0.30m; W 0.26m; D 0.10m) protruding from its SE side at ground level. The precise nature of these pillars is unknown. They may have formed part of a gateway and do not appear to be associated with the oval platform. (Raftery 1974, 84) J. Raftery, Preliminary report on sites of archaeological interest in Co. Sligo. (An Fora Forbartha, 1974).
