What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. This rath is levelled and the remains consist of a slightly raised circular area (diam. 18m E-W) enclosed by a scarp (max. H 0.9m) except along the S arc where it is truncated by a field boundary and drain giving a dimension of 14m N-S. A shallow external fosse (Wth 2m) is marked by a growth of rushes. Named 'Taugheny's Fort' (OSNB vol. 1, 126).
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).
