What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on the lower southern slope of the Ox Mountains. A roughly circular area (27m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall, with the lower courses intact (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m). The interior slopes gently down to SE and is slightly terraced into the hillslope with the N half up to 0.3m below and the S half 0.6m above the external ground level. A cashel (SL036-026----) and rath (SL036-027----) lie lower down the slope c. 170m to S and c. 140m to SSE respectively. 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).
