What is recorded here
In pasture, on level ground. A roughly circular area (diam. at base 37m; at summit 28m N-S; 31.5m E-W) raised 3.1-4m above the surrounding ground level and enclosed at base by dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; max. D 0.6m). An outer bank (Wth 6m; ext. H 0.7m) defines the edge of the fosse along the N arc. A ramped entrance is at the E side. There is a square depression (2m x 2m; D 0.9m) in the interior off-centre to NW and a Man-made underground passage (SL032-053002-) in the E half of the interior. A quarry cuts into the scarp along the SW arc.
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).
