What is recorded here
In pasture, on the E-facing side of a low rise. A raised oval area (30m N-S; 22.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.45m) with a broad external slump. The bank is low internally along the E and S arcs. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3m) at E, partially blocked by a hawthorn bush, and gaps occur at N (Wth 2m) and S (Wth 3m). The interior is covered by grass and thistles and slopes gently down from the centre to NE, E and S. A field boundary abuts the bank at SSE.
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).
