What is recorded here
In poorly drained pasture, on a low rise. A raised circular area (28m N-S) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 2.5m) SE-NE, which is eroded in parts and by a scarp NE-SE. An external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 1m) is evident SE-SW. A N-S field boundary lies immediately to W on the line of the fosse. The interior slopes gently down to E and there is a collapsed Man-made underground passage (SL034-067002-) in the centre. Mature trees grow on the rath.
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).
