What is recorded here
In a level area of pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 40m). This rath is now mostly levelled and evident as a slightly raised roughly circular area (17.4m N-S) defined E-SSW by a scarp (H 1.5m), truncated SSW-W by a road and boundary wall and defined only by a slight rise NW-E. The interior is slightly concave. A shallow hollow (3m x 1.5m) has been dug into the scarp at ESE. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL025-076001-) in the NE quadrant.
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).
