Indicated

In undulating pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. A raised oval area (22m NW-SE; 38m NE-SW) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.15m). Along the SE arc, the internal bank height is low (H 0.3m) but the external slope in very pronounced (H 2.3m). Some stones protrude from the sod on the internal face of the bank. A possible entrance (Wth 1m) is at E and gaps occur at SW (Wth 2m) and SSE. The SE portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope, though the interior still slopes gently down to SE. A slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 9m), defined by a scarp (H 0.5m) E-SE, is in the centre of the interior. Another rath (SL025-118----) lies c. 50m to NW. 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).
