Indicated

In pasture, at a break of the W-facing slope of a ridge. A flat-topped circular mound of sod-covered earth and stone (diam. 22.1m at base, 11m NNE-SSW at top; H 1.5m). About one third of the W edge and a portion of the base of the mound at NNW have been quarried away. Two contiguous boulders have been exposed by quarrying at the base of the mound at NNW. A few stones protrude intermittently along the perimeter of the top of the mound N-E. A circular sod-covered rise (diam. c. 4m; H 0.5m) from which some large stones protrude, is evident on top of the mound close to the quarry edge at W. A rough line of stones skirting the base of the mound along the E edge may be field-clearance stones. 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).
