What is recorded here

In pasture, between drumlins. Described as an enclosure barrow (overall diam. 26.6m N-S; 28m E-W) with a concave interior surrounded by a broad enclosing bank (Wth c. 8m; H 0.8m) (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly). Where the bank was eroded a distinct coloured soil, similar to that in a nearby barrow (SL033-202----), was exposed. (Farrelly and Keane 2002, 98) 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).
