What is recorded here

In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a rise. A raised oval area (83m N-S; 61m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.8m). An external fosse (Wth 9m; D 1m) is evident SE-NNW. The interior slopes gently down to E. There is a mound barrow (SL038-019002-) in the W half of the interior. An E-W field boundary crosses the S half of the interior and another truncates the scarp at N. 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).
