What is recorded here
On a natural terrace, on an E-facing slope. An embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, though only an arc of hachures E-S is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. The area is marked by a natural terrace of rock outcrop, dropping steeply to E. There is a hut site (SL031-037001-) in or adjacent to the site of this possible 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).
