What is recorded here

On a slight rise, in undulating poorly drained pasture; the ground rises slightly immediately to N. A circular area (diam. 23m) defined by remains of an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.9m) N-E and S-W; the bank is levelled elsewhere. The NE portion is cut into the hillslope. At NE two short 'arms' of bank, 3.2m apart, protrude into the interior, possibly the result of some disturbance. The interior is slightly concave. 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).
