What is recorded here

In gently undulating pasture on level ground. A roughly circular area (diam. 2.8m) defined by a fosse and an outer earthen bank. The interior consists of firm undisturbed ground while the fosse is clearly evident as a band of soft ground (Wth 1.7m) N-SW but less distinct SW-N. The bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m) is evident all round with a break at W (Wth 2.4m). Another ring-barrow (SL033-199----) lies c. 100m to WSW and a bowl-barrow (SL033-049----) c. 50m to NE. 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).
