What is recorded here

In a rath (SL021-099001-), c. 2m NW of a NW-facing scarp which bisects the interior of the rath off-centre to NW. A slightly sunken semicircular feature (3m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE) bordered NE-E by an irregular moss-covered cairn (Wth 4m; H 0.5) and defined SE-S by a low inward scarp. Immediately to SW, protruding at the roots of a mature ash tree, are two large slabs, one resting on top of the other. There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well. A possible souterrain (SL021-099003-) is adjacent to the well. 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).
