What is recorded here

In pasture, on a WNW-facing slope down to a bog c. 100m away. When inspected in 1994 it consisted of a raised circular grass-covered area (42.5m N-S; 41.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m). An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.1m) was evident SE-NE. An outer earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m) was evident NW-NNE. 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).
