What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A raised oval area (int. diam. 49m N-S; 59m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m). A shallow external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.05m) is evident NE-E and the line of it is indicated elsewhere, except to NW, by a 5m wide band of boggy ground. The interior is poached by cattle and there is a souterrain (SL038-083002-) in the N half. Hawthorn bushes grow on the bank. There is a small quarry immediately to NW. 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).
