H 0.1m) SE-N which is also visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 272-3). There are no visible remains of any enclosing element elsewhere.

• SL035-061 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  The monument, which has been destroyed, stood some 10m N of the northern extremity of a court tomb (SL035-062----). OS documents record a structure formed of upright stones at this spot in or about 1914 but it had been removed by 1952. A plan of the tomb (Wood-Martin 1883-4, 454, no. 13; 1888, 175, no. 13) shows an oval gallery (L c. 7m; max. Wth c. 3m) which seems to have opened to the N. In a brief account Wood-Martin claimed that the monument terminated in two circles though these are not illustrated on his plan. A wedge tomb (SL035-063----) lies c. 150m to SSW. (Ó Nualláin 1989, 65-6, no. 107) 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).

• SL035-062 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  On rolling pasture and c. 100m NNE of a wedge tomb (SL035-063----) and c. 10m S of the site of an unclassified megalithic tomb (SL035-061----). A U-shaped court (L at least 5.5m; Wth c. 7.5m) at the SSE leads to a gallery (L 9m). Three stones remain of the more easterly arm of the court and five of the opposite arm. Two jambs mark the entrance to the gallery which is divided by three other pairs of jambs into four chambers. There is a sillstone between the jambs separating the second and third chamber. The gallery sides are quite well-preserved and the backstone is in place. The tomb is in a poorly preserved long mound (L c. 33m). About 2m outside the E arm of the court there is a kerbstone and another 1.5m outside the W arm. Seven probable kerbstones are exposed along the northern half of the W side of the mound. The backstone and southern sidestone of what appears to be a small lateral subsidiary chamber stand at the W side of the mound almost 5m beyond the back of the gallery. A field fence extends along both arms of the court, the E side of the gallery and from the gallery backstone northwards along the mound. There is a small quarry to the E of this fence behind the gallery.
