What is recorded here
In undulating pasture, on a rise. A slightly raised oval area (8.9m ESE-WSW; 15.5m NNE-SSW) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.5m) is best evident SW-N, and is very low or levelled elsewhere. A few partially sod-covered stones were noted in the W half of the interior, close to the bank. There is a local tradition of burials in the surrounding field. A wedge tomb (SL025-094----) lies c. 50m to S.
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).
