In a sand quarry, adjacent to a farmyard. According to local information, a grave-like feature (max. dims. c. 0.75m) made of stone slabs and containing some bones was revealed during sand extraction c. 1983. It was found c. 1.2m below the top of a sandy hillock. The feature was subsequently destroyed when that part of the hillock in which it was contained was quarried away and a barn partially built over it.
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).
