What is recorded here
In poorly drained rush-covered grazing, on top of a narrow E-W ridge. A slightly raised circular area (6.8m N-S; 6.8m E-W; H 0.4m) enclosed by a fosse and external bank. The fosse (Wth c. 3m) is shallow and waterlogged. The bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.35m) is broad, low and poorly defined. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at W, opposite a relatively dry section of the fosse, may be the result of damage rather than the location of an entrance. A ring-barrow (SL047-070001-) lies c. 55m to W.
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).
