What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on top of a drumlin. A raised circular area (int. diam. 29.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.9m) except along the E arc where it is truncated by a field boundary, reducing the E-W dimension of the interior to 18.6m. The entrance (Wth 2.6m) is at NW with remains of an external ramp (L 4.1m). The interior is level. A section of an earthen field boundary is built against the external face of the bank along the W arc. 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).
