What is recorded here
In pasture, on the summit of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (26.8m N-S; 28.5m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2m) W-N and by a scarp (H 0.6m) elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed boggy fosse (Wth 6.5m) is evident SW-NW with a counterscarp bank (Wth 3.6m; ext. H 0.4m) evident WNW-NNW. The entrance (Wth 3m), with a ramp up from the fosse, is at W. The interior slopes slightly down to E. A field boundary skirts the rath SSW-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).
