What is recorded here

In pasture, at the S end of a summit of a bog-island. The rath is extensively quarried into and heavily eroded. The remains consist of a circular area (diam. c. 29m) raised c. 0.5-1m above the external ground level. The edge of the interior is defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H c. 0.7m; max. ext. H 2m) along the E and S arcs. A flat-bottomed dry fosse (D 0.75m) is evident along the W arc. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-156002-) in the NW quadrant. 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).
