What is recorded here
In pasture, on level ground, which slopes down from the rath to W and NW. A roughly circular area (63m N-S; 66m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) SE-S and W-NE and by a scarp elsewhere. A field boundary truncates the rath E-SE. There is a break (Wth 15m) in the bank S-SW. A wide dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 9m; D 0.7m), which is shallow along the W arc, is evident at the base of the bank. The interior slopes very gently down to S with the remains of cultivation ridges crossing it on a NNE-SSW axis. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-232----) c. 220m to ESE.
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).
