In rough undulating pasture, on the N side of a ridge. Described during a previous inspection in 1992 as the remains of a circular flat-topped earthen mound (diam. 7m; H 1.2m) with a quarry hole (Wth 12m) cut into the S edge (SMR (1989) file). Now levelled and not visible at ground level. The quarry to S is now disused. A possible cairn (SL034-065----) lies c. 100m to SSW. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008 - SL034-065: Cairn - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL034-065----. In rough pasture, on the N side of a ridge and on the W side of a road. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular pile of stones (diam. c. 40m), c. 100m SSW of a mound barrow (SL034-064----). There are no visible remains of the cairn. According to local information, the level of the field was previously c. 1.5m higher but was subsequently lowered due to quarrying and large boulders encountered during the quarrying are piled against the adjacent field boundary.

In undulating pasture, on a slight NE-facing slope and c. 40m SW of the Feorish River. A raised circular area (20m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m) of earth and stone is evident all round and is faced internally and externally in many places either with single upright limestone slabs (up to 1.2m square) or un-mortared limestone blocks in two to three courses. The inner bank is broken at SSE (Wth 0.9m), S (Wth 1m), WNW (Wth 0.8m) and NNW (Wth. 0.9m). The intervening fosse (Wth 4m at base) is evident NW-N and E-SE. The outer bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.45m) is earthen and evident only E-SE, at WNW and NNW-N. The interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope and is level dry and clear of overgrowth. There is a field clearance cairn (diam. 2m; H 0.3m) to E of the centre.

In rough pasture, on top of the W side of a ridge. A circular area (18m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by an eroded earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.9m) with a revetment of stones evident intermittently along the base of the internal face of the bank. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary S-W. A band of rushes (Wth. c. 2m) NW-ESE probably indicates the line of a silted-up external fosse.

In rough pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A D-shaped area (dims. 19m NW-SE) with a straight NW side (L 20m NE-SW) terraced into the hillslope, the SW portion raised 1.9m above outer ground level and the NE portion cut into the upslope in two steps c. 2.2m below ground level. A short section of earthen bank (L 6m; Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident at S. A linear NE-SW field boundary defines the straight side. No visible remains of the enclosure on the NW side of the field boundary. Locally known as 'Lisheen'.
