What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope on the floor of the Glencar valley. It is visible as a feature on the OSI series of aerial images (2000, 2005) and those of Bing (2013). This is a D-shaped grass and rush-covered area (dims 24m E-W; 20.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at N: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.1m) NW-NE, reduced to a scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) SW-NW. It is truncated by a N-S field bank at E and by the road bank of the N16 Sligo to Manorhamilton road at S.
