Within a large, flat field of pasture, near the western foot of Cope’s Mountain.
This possible monument was identified in 2021 during a geophysical survey carried out as part of archaeological investigations on the N16 Lugatober (Drumkilsellagh to Lugnagall) Road Project, Co. Sligo (Dowling 2021). It lies outside the road corridor and remains in situ but is not visible at ground level. Geophysical imagery reveals a series of possible pits/deposits that form a roughly rectangular feature (L c. 8.5m NE–SW), open to NW.
