What is recorded here

In pasture, on the summit of a low narrow ridge. A low circular convex mound (10.6m N-S; 9.8m E-W) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.6m) and an external bank (Wth 1.3m; ext. H 0.6m). The fosse is 0.75m below the mound and 0.5m below the bank. The mound is uneven, possibly as a result of digging, and overgrown with nettles and three blackthorn bushes. The mound and bank are both stony; the bank is burrowed into on the E side. 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).
