What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope with extensive views SE-W across Lough Gill and Sligo Town. Depicted on the 1912 edition of the 6'' OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c.8m). The stone circle has been removed and an E-W orientated laneway now traverses the site. Three roughly rectangular boulders (av. dims L 1.5m; Wth 1m; T 3.5m) located to the S of the lane may be derived from the original stone circle.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL015-071
