What is recorded here

In pasture, on an E-facing slope and incorporated into a field boundary. An oval area (36m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.55m) S-SW, a rising scarp WSW-NNE and a scarp with an external step (Wth 2m; H 0.7m) NNE-SE. The W portion of the interior is cut into the hillslope and the E portion is raised 2.5m to compensate somewhat for the slope though there is still a slope down to E. 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).
