What is recorded here

Hachured (1838). is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonarara, County Sligo, Ireland. The roughly circular area measured about 37 metres across and featured a shallow scarp with an external fosse on its north-east side. A curving hedgerow followed the defensive line, while local information claims the rath was levelled during the 1920s. The 1838 Ordnance Survey map recorded the site as an embanked circular area nearly 40 metres wide.

A roughly circular area (diam. c. 37m) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m) and an external fosse (Wth c. 6m; D 0.2m) N-E; a hedgerow curving E-SW appears to follow the line of the defences. According to local information, the rath was levelled c. 1920s. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 40m). 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).
