What is recorded here

In pasture, on top of a rise. A circular mound (diam. 11.5m NE-SW; 11.7m NW-SE; max. H 1.9m) crossed off-centre to NE by a NW-SE field boundary and drain. The top of the mound (diam. c. 4.5m) is level and has a central rectangular depression (1.4m NE-SW; 2.8m NW-SE; D 0.5m). A level area (Wth 2m) at the base of the mound SW-NW is defined by a slight scarp. 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).
