What is recorded here

In rough pasture, at the base of a gentle S-facing slope and on the N side of a stream. A circular area (22m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) along the W, N and E arcs and by a scarp along the S arc. There is a gap (Wth 8m) in the bank at NW. A shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D c. 0.3m), marked by a growth of rushes, is evident all round. 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).
