What is recorded here

In rough undulating pasture, near the base of a NE-facing slope. A circular area (diam. c. 40m x 45m) enclosed by a heavily eroded earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) with the remains of stone facing. A raised terrace in the NW quadrant of the interior is defined by a stone-faced scarp (L 8m E-W; H 0.8m) extending from the W bank to E, the line continues to E as a break in slope. The N half of the interior slopes down to N. A N-S field boundary lies adjacent to the E bank. There are trees growing along the N bank. 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).
