What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a narrow level area below the summit of a ridge. A raised oval area (24.7m NE-SW; 29.8m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.3m) with an external fosse. There is an entrance (Wth 2.7m) at NE and numerous eroded gaps along the N and E arcs. The fosse is only evident S-W as a very shallow depression (Wth 2.8m; D 0.3m) marked by rushes. The interior slopes gently down to E and NE and is overgrown with thistles and rushes. 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).
