What is recorded here

In pasture broken by limestone outcrops, on a low rise. A roughly circular area (c. 20m E-W; 22m N-S) utilising a natural rise, defined NW-NE by a low moss-covered stony rise (Wth c. 4m), NE-SE by a barely discernible moss-covered stony rise and SSE-W by a stone-strewn scarp (H 1.55m). The interior is level but the surface is uneven with small hummocks of moss-covered stone. 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).
