What is recorded here

In level pasture, near the SE end of a ridge. Views are good to excellent in all directions. A circular raised area (overall diam. 8.65m) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.25-0.35m; ext. H 0.55-0.65m). The internal face of the bank has a long gentle slope while the external face is much sharper. The bank is broken at S (Wth 3m) due to the collapse of a hawthorn tree which has left a small depression in it. The interior (diam. 3.5m) is level and clear of overgrowth. 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).
