What is recorded here

In poor pasture, on a slight SW-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m) SSE-E and elsewhere by a scarp. A steep W-facing slope breaks under the external base of the bank element SW-NE. The SW portion of the undulating interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The N half is poached by cattle. There is a possible souterrain (SL035-022002-) in the NE quadrant. 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).
