What is recorded here

In rough pasture, at the base of the NE-facing slope of a ridge; there is an abandoned farmhouse to SE. A raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 17m) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) SE-NW, by a linear stone-faced scarp (long axis NE-SW) along the NNW arc, by a curved scarp N-NE and elsewhere by a NW-SE field boundary. There is a spring well close by to SE. 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).
