What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on slightly raised level ground. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly D-shaped area with a straight W side. Remains consist of a roughly circular area (18m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1m) SW-ENE and by a stone-faced scarp (H 1.3m) elsewhere. There is a souterrain (SL027-004002-) 22m to W. 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).
