What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the NW-facing slope of a ridge. A slightly raised roughly circular area (18m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m). A wide band of rushes (Wth 2m) probably indicates the line of an external fosse along the N, E and S arcs. A road and a deep drain lie at the base of slope to WSW. 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).
