What is recorded here
In pasture, on level ground, on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (33.2m N-S; 36.5m E-W) raised c. 0.4m to 0.8m above external ground level. The interior is defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.6m) along the N and SE arcs, by a scarp along the NE, E and S arcs and by a hedgerow elsewhere. An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.4m) is evident N-NE and E-W. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL032-067002-) in the interior.
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).
