What is recorded here

In pasture, in a prominent position on top of a high ridge. A large raised circular area (diam. 42m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) E-W and by a scarp (H 1.5m) W-E. Some stone facing is evident on the external face of the bank. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at E with a gently sloping access ramp. The interior slopes gently down to NE. An E-W field boundary crosses the S half of the interior. Possible field clearance boulders protrude from sod in the interior. 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).
