What is recorded here

On top of a low rise, surrounded by recently planted trees. Indicated on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The N half has been removed by quarrying, leaving only the S half of a circular mound (diam. 12m; H c. 0.65m) which is surrounded by a fosse (Wth c. 4.2m; D 0.35m) with an external earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.65m). Another ring-barrow (SL038-006----) lies c. 70m 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
