What is recorded here

In pasture, adjacent to the NW corner of a concrete reservoir that encloses a holy well (SL044-047001). During an inspection of the well in 2002, a spread (diam. 4m) of burnt sandstone fragments in dark charcoal-rich soil was noted exposed on the surface of the ground. 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).
