What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gently sloping E-facing slope overlooking Lough Arrow. A slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 23.1m x 23.4m) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.75m). An external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.6m) is evident along the W arc. There is a hollow dug out of the SE quadrant of the interior. The S half of the interior is overgrown with bushes. 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).
