What is recorded here

In pasture, at the E end of the summit of a bog-island. A raised circular area (34m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m) ESE-NNE and by a scarp elsewhere. The external fosse (Wth 7.4m; D 0.4m) is evident along the S arc. A short section of the bank along the NNW arc has been removed by quarrying. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
