What is recorded here
In pasture, on the summit of a rise. A raised roughly circular area (35.3m N-S; 38.5m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.6m) with numerous gaps. The entrance (Wth 3m) is in the E arc. The external flat-bottomed dry fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.3m) survives along the S arc. Disused field boundaries, consisting of low banks and scarps, extend outwards from the E and SE arcs. A quarry cuts into the W edge of the rath.
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).
