What is recorded here

On top of a low rise, in level ground which is liable to flooding. A circular flat-topped mound (diam. c. 8m; H c. 0.3m) enclosed by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.7m; D c. 0.5m). The remains of an external earthen bank (H c. 0.1m) are evident W-SE with wide breaks at NE and NW. A number of kerbstones are evident around the top of the mound c. 1m in from the edge. A linear E-W field boundary has been built on the outer edge of fosse at S. 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).
