What is recorded here

In pasture, on a slight N-facing slope and on top of a low natural rise. There are excellent views in all directions except S-SW. A circular raised area (6m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m at S, 0.85m at N). The interior is concave due to the broad inner slope of the bank. There is a level area (diam. 1.8m) at the centre. The N half of the interior is raised to compensate for the natural slope. Listed by 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).
