What is recorded here

In pasture, on a terrace overlooking a stream to S. An arc of a scarp (C 29m NE-SW; H 1.2m) extends E-SSE from the SW side of a NW-SE field boundary. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a large embanked oval area (c. 45m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) with a limekiln on the bank at SE. The remaining arc may have been used as a ramp up to the limekiln. 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).
