What is recorded here

In rough undulating pasture, on the N side of a ridge. Described during a previous inspection in 1992 as the remains of a circular flat-topped earthen mound (diam. 7m; H 1.2m) with a quarry hole (Wth 12m) cut into the S edge (SMR (1989) file). Now levelled and not visible at ground level. The quarry to S is now disused. A possible cairn (SL034-065----) lies c. 100m to SSW. 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).
