What is recorded here

In pasture, on the E side of a river valley. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) occupying most of the N half of a small subrectangular field. There are no visible remains of this possible rath. The field boundaries remain as indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. A bungalow stands in the S half of the field and a large irregular grassed-over quarry pit (D 1m) occupies most of the N half. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
