What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rinbaun is in County Sligo, Ireland. The levelled rath occupies a steep east-facing pasture slope and preserves a twenty-metre circular area bounded partly by a low earthen bank and partly by a scarp. A garden fence cuts through the northern half, while another rath stands fifty metres west in the same field.

In pasture, on the steep E-facing slope of a rise. This rath has been levelled. The remains consist of a circular area (20m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m) SE-NNW and by a scarp (H 0.5m) NNE-SE. A garden fence truncates the N half. The interior slopes down to E. There is another rath (SL032-128----) in the same field c. 50m to W. 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).
