What is recorded here

Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Approximately triangular area (13 NW-SE; 11.5m NE-SW) extending NE into Sligo Bay. At NE this is defined by steep sea cliffs and at S by a narrow E-W inlet marked 'Oughwore' on the 1913 edition of the map. The promontory is cut off from the surrounding land at W by a low bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3-0.5m) of earth and stone which appears to be a relatively modern feature. Within the same townland, 60m to NW there is a second possible promontory fort (SL012-006----). (M. Casey 1988, pers. comm.) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
