Lisrisis

In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (26m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.7m) N-S and by a scarp ( H 0.8m) S-N. The W portion of the level interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The SE arc is incorporated into a NE-SW field boundary. There is a faint trace of an external fosse (Wth c. 2m) along the W arc. A tractor track cuts across the interior from SE to NW. The perimeter of the rath is covered with overgrowth. 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).
