What is recorded here

In wet pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly circular area (26m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1m) SE-NE and by a faint scarp elsewhere. Several small breaks occur in the bank due to erosion by livestock. The interior is level. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map an embanked circular area, open to E. A holy well (SL035-099----) lies c. 10m to NE. 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).
