What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (25m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, which is incorporated into a linear field boundary ENE-ESE. The bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.3m) has traces of a possible internal stone kerb or facing SW-N. There are gaps in the bank at NE and SE. Some quarrying has taken place c. 6m to S of the bank. 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).
