What is recorded here

At the base of the N-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (24m E-W) enclosed by a scarp (H 1.4m) with a slight internal lip (H 0.4m) and by a shallow external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m). There is a causeway across the fosse at N and S, used by farm machinery to gain access to the interior. A low rise with a shallow external depression along the W arc may indicate a second bank and fosse. 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).
