Lisnagael

In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. An oval area (40m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) NNW-W with two large gaps in the E arc and a 16m wide gap in the S arc. The bank bulges c. 2m into the interior along the N arc. A band of rushes (Wth 3m) along the SW arc may indicate the line of an external silted-up fosse. The interior slopes slightly down to S. A field boundary skirts the W half of 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).
