Earthwork

What is recorded here

Earthwork in Drumbaun is an earthwork in Drumbaun, County Sligo, Ireland. The 1914 map drew a slightly oval mound about 10 metres across on the gentle south-facing slope. A rath stands about 100 metres to the west, but the earthwork itself vanished from ground view by the 1994 inspection.
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. This earthwork was indicated as a hachured slightly oval mound (diam. c. 10m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. When inspected in 1994 it was not visible at ground level. A rath (SL043-001001-) lies c. 100m to W. 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).
