What is recorded here

In pasture, on the gentle S-facing slope of a ridge and now within the grounds of a golf club. An oval area (27.7m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m). The bank is highest along the E and SE arcs due to the dumping of material on it. An external fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.3m) is evident along the N arc. The interior is cut up due to the storage of golf course maintenance equipment. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008
