What is recorded here

Situated at the NW edge of a NW-SE ridge overlooking a beach at the S side of Sligo Bay. Examaination of an aerial photograph suggests that it was originally circular in form (diam. c. 30m). It was defined at N, NE and SW by the natural slope of the ridge. Where the slope is highest and steepest, at W (H 4.5m), it is cordoned off by a linear NE-SW field boundary bank and gully. At its SW end, close to the edge of the ridge, the bank cuts through a possible hut site (SL012-016001-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
