What is recorded here
In pasture, on a NE-facing slope of a rise. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area. Only the W half of this enclosure is now extant, the E half having been quarried away. The remains consist of a semicircular area (23m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m). The interior is cut into the hillslope and the E portion is raised c. 1.3m to compensate for the slope. The rath is partially covered by trees.
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).
