What is recorded here

In rough grazing, close to a break of slope at the E end of a ridge. A circular flat-topped rise (diam. 4.8m; H 0.3m) defined by a low broadly sloping scarp. A band of wet ground (Wth c. 1.5m) outside the scarp S-W probably indicates the remains of a silted-up fosse. This is one of a group of four barrows (see SL047-048001-; SL047-048002-; SL037-048003-). 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).
