What is recorded here
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A raised roughly circular area (27m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m). The external fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.2m) is evident along the N arc. The fosse is visible all round as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3033163-4). The interior slopes gently down to S. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m).
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).
