What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture, on a slight rise, surrounded by ridges of high ground. A raised oval area (23m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m) with a slight internal lip (H 0.4m) along the N arc. The scarp slopes gently down to the outside. Roughly at the centre of the interior is a raised oval area (8m x 6m; H 0.6m). A short linear earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.6m on S side; H 0.3m on N side), on an E-W axis, lies 3m N of the enclosure. 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).
