What is recorded here
In pasture, on an E-facing slope, with a farmyard and house to S. This rath is levelled and is now evident as a slightly raised oval area (44.5m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.5m) with an external fosse (D 0.05m) W-E. The edge of the interior is defined by a hedgerow E-W, separating the farmyard from the rath. It is indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 35m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
