What is recorded here

On the N end of a spur of Kesh Corann and immediately S of a passage tomb (SL040-006001-). A roughly D-shaped area (26.5m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by remnants of a stone wall (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) which survives as low sod-covered hummocks from which large stones protrude. The wall can be traced in a broad curve WNW-S and at N it merges with the sod-covered base of the passage tomb cairn, appearing to post-date the cairn. A natural rocky scarp defines the straight W side of the enclosure. The enclosure encompasses most of the level ground on the top of the spur. 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).
