What is recorded here
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A densely overgrown roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth 1.2m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H c. 1m). Sections of the wall at NW and SE are partly collapsed. The interior is level, engulfed by overgrowth and inaccessible; it is raised c. 2m SE-S to compensate for the hillslope. Because of the overgrowth, the existence of a possible inner enclosure visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 227/19-20) and occupying most of the interior, could not be determined.
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).
