What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A D-shaped area (dims. 19m NW-SE) with a straight NW side (L 20m NE-SW) terraced into the hillslope, the SW portion raised 1.9m above outer ground level and the NE portion cut into the upslope in two steps c. 2.2m below ground level. A short section of earthen bank (L 6m; Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident at S. A linear NE-SW field boundary defines the straight side. No visible remains of the enclosure on the NW side of the field boundary. Locally known as 'Lisheen'. 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).
