Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Roscrib East

In pasture, on a slight W-facing slope overlooking a stream valley. A slightly raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.15m) SE-SW and by a low scarp elsewhere. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. A natural break of slope (H 1.5m) lies outside the enclosing element along the W arc. The rath is overlooked by higher ground on the W side of the stream. 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).
