What is recorded here

On a rise, in undulating pasture. A raised circular area (int. diam. 22.5m) enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. c. H 2m) has bushes growing along its E and S arcs. The entrance (Wth 2.5m) is at E with a causeway and ramp (max. Wth 3m, narrowing to 2m at the entrance) across the fosse. The fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.4m) has been widened due to quarrying along the N arc. The interior is mostly clear of overgrowth. 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).
