What is recorded here
In pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (31.5m N-S) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3m) N-W and by a scarp W-N. There are numerous gaps in the bank. A dry external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 0.9m) is evident SE-SW. The interior slopes gently down to N. A field boundary joins the bank at N and another crosses the fosse at SSW.
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).
