What is recorded here

In pasture, on the top of a ridge and close to a S-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly oval area (31.5m E-W; min. 26.8m N-S) defined W-NW by a slight rise, NNW-E by a low bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.35m) and E-SE by a barely discernible rise which is clearly visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V227, 54-5). There are no visible remains of any enclosing element SE-W. The interior is bisected on an E-W axis by a field boundary with a drain on its S side. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
