What is recorded here
In pasture, on a low rise. A raised oval area (diam. 49.7m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 7m; D 0.8m) along the W, N and SE arcs. The interior is boggy and badly poached by cattle and is slightly concave. There is a square depression (3m x 3m) just W of the centre. A modern field boundary encloses the rath and a lane clips its S edge. A hedgerow grows along the perimeter.
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).
