What is recorded here

In pasture, on the lower S-facing slope of a ridge. A raised oval area (35m N-S; 28.5m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 3m). An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 8.5m; D 1.1m) is evident WNW-NNE. There are numerous gaps in the bank. The NW third of the interior is separated from the remainder by a scarp (H 0.5m) and by an earthen bank (Wth 1.5m) and is internally divided by earthen banks. 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).
