What is recorded here

In undulating rough pasture, on a low rise. A raised circular area (diam. 28m x 26m) defined by a scarp (H 1.6m) NW-SE and by a field boundary SE-NW. The low remains of an earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.3m) are evident at SE. The interior is level and the perimeter is densely covered with 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).
