In a mound barrow (SL040-15501-). Raftery (1973, 186-8) recorded the discovery in 1962 of a small pit, covered by a single slab, c. 0.3m below the surface of the mound and c. 4.5m from the short cist (SL040-15503-). The pit was not investigated at the time of discovery and was later described from memory by the finder. A decorated bowl food vessel (H 8.9cm; diam. at base 6.6cm; int. diam. at rim 10.3cm) was found mouth upwards in the pit (ibid.) and is now in the National Museum of Ireland. According to the finder, there were no bones or grave-goods associated with the food vessel (Raftery 1973, 188). (Ó Ríordáin and Waddell 1993, 130)
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).
