What is recorded here
A large oval enclosure (105m ENE-WSW; 97m NNW-SSE) (visible on an aerial photograph GSIAP, G 262-3) defined by a collapsed sod-covered stone wall (Wth 1.2-1.5m; max. H 0.6m) S-SW, by a low rise at WNW and N-NNE, and by a slight scarp NE-E. The enclosing element appears to be incorporated into the field boundary system NW-NNW. A linear NNW-SSE field boundary truncates it at W. A second field boundary (on a NNW-SSE axis) bisects the interior off-centre to SW. A possible church (SL032-141001-) and a possible graveyard (SL032-141002-) are situated in the interior off-centre to the E and a Man-made underground passage (SL032-141005-) occurs in the SW sector. Also in the interior, off-centre to the W, are the possible remains of a limekiln (SL032-141004-). A hut site (SL032-141006-) lies c. 50m to the SW. This enclosure is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
