What is recorded here

On a NW-facing slope, in an area overgrown with bushes. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). Only the E half now remains, visible as a raised semicircular area (25m N-S) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1m) NE-S. A dry external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.6m) is evident E-S and a band of boggy ground (Wth 4m) along the NE arc may indicate a silted-up fosse. The interior is raised c. 0.8m above the external ground level. The W half of this rath has been removed by quarrying. 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).
