What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a ridge. This possible rath has been levelled and only a low rise is now visible in the area. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m). The vicinity of the rath is overgrown with long grass, crossed by cultivation trenches and planted with trees. 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).
