What is recorded here

In pasture, at the base of a W-facing slope bordering a broad flat expanse of bogland on the S side of a drain. A spread of heat-shattered stones and dark soil is evident for c. 6m in a low scarp on the S edge of the drain. A fulacht fia (SL038-140----) and a burnt spread (SL038-141----) lie c. 260m to S and c. 130m to S respectively. 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).
