What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. An oval enclosure (44m N-S; 62m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H. 0.2m) along the W and N arcs and by a scarp (H 1.6m) elsewhere. A fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) is evident along the N arc. The interior slopes down to S and is divided into four sections by low irregular earthen banks and scarps. An earthen bank (H 0.4m) extends 26m to SW from the SW edge of the enclosure and a scarp (H 0.5m) extends 18m to W from the NW edge, possibly the remains of old field boundaries (SL038-080002-). 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).
