Enclosure

What is recorded here

The enclosure in Lugnamackan is in County Sligo, Ireland. It is the most south-easterly of three small conjoined circular enclosures on a south-facing slope in partially reclaimed pasture. Wood-Martin noted the group as raths forming a cable-chain pattern, but overgrowth now hides the site from ground level.
In partially reclaimed pasture, on a S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as the most south-easterly (diam. c. 10m) of three small conjoined circular enclosures (SL020-197002- and SL020-197003-). It is not visible at ground level. The area is densely covered with overgrowth. Noted by Wood-Martin (1882, 21) as one of three raths 'forming a cable-chain pattern'. 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).
