What is recorded here
In pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains. An oval area (c. 22m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4m) SSW-NNW and NE-ESE. A field boundary truncates the N perimeter and another crosses the W half of the interior on a NNW-SSE axis. According to local information, an earthen enclosing bank was levelled in the 1950s during land reclamation.
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).
