What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on an E-W ridge. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank with the remains of an external fosse. The bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.8m) has an internal facing of large stones. Several narrow gaps or eroded areas were noted in the bank as well as two substantial gaps, one at NE (Wth 2m) and another at SE (Wth 5m). The fosse is evident as a shallow depression (Wth 4m; D c. 0.5m) SSE-SSW. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL027-087002-) in the W half of the interior. The perimeter of the rath is overgrown with trees and scrub. 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).
