In rough pasture, on the N-facing slope of a low rise. A mature sycamore tree grows on the S edge of a penitential cairn (SL034-070002-). Wood-Martin (1892, 372) referred to the many legends and traditions attached to this tree 'some of which are yet current'. In 1836 it was noted that Catholics are said to have performed stations here (OSNB vol. 1, 468). It is known locally as a site of stations or 'pattern'.
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).
