What is recorded here
In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a bog-island. A circular area (24m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) SSE-NNE and by a scarp elsewhere. The scarp is topped by a field boundary NNE-SE. Large stones revet the inner face of the bank in places. Numerous gaps occur in the bank. The E two-thirds of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
