Indicated

In pasture, on top of a NE-SW ridge. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. Now evident as a roughly rectangular raised area (17.2m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined on the NW and NE sides by an earthen bank with a slight internal lip (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.75m), on the SE side by a linear field boundary and on the SW side by a scarp (H 0.7m) which merges at its NW end with a linear field boundary. A rath (SL025-140----) lies c. 30m to NE. 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).
