In pasture, on the top of a drumlin. A large steep-sided conical mound (diam. 21.5m; H 6m) denuded at E, exposing earth and stone. A slight depression (Wth 4m) visible at E may be the remains of a fosse. Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 189) mentioned under the parish of Kilmorgan 'several mounds of earth covering stone graves, in which bones and urns containing ashes have been found, whence it is inferred that a battle was anciently fought here' (SL033-211----). It is not known to which site or sites Lewis was referring but this bowl-barrow and the cairn (SL033-108----), also in Doomore townland, are both in the parish of Kilmorgan.
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).
