What is recorded here

In pasture, on the top of a ridge. A raised circular area (31.7m N-S) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.3m; H 0.2m) with an intervening fosse and an outer earthen bank S-SE. The drystone wall is topped by a stone field boundary ENE-SW. The fosse (Wth 5.9m) is separated from the drystone wall by a narrow berm before dropping 1.1m to the base of the fosse. The outer bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) is truncated at NE by a field boundary. There is a causeway across the fosse at NW. There is a souterrain (SL032-163002-) in the NW quadrant. 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).
