What is recorded here

On a rocky NE-facing slope, in a natural rock outcrop at the base of a near vertical cliff. Two large horizontal slabs of rock, the lower of which projects 0.6m out from under the upper on the NE side. The lower slab is level and has a small roughly D-shaped round-bottomed depression (0.33m by 0.37m; D 0.1m), that appears to be natural, on its upper surface. Water flows from between the two slabs into the depression via a short V-shaped channel (L 0.2m; Wth top 0.03m; D 0.02m) at the SW and exits through a small notch on the NE side. There is no evidence to indicate recent holy use. 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).
