What is recorded here
In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. The rath is partially levelled. The remains consist of an oval area (28.5m N-S; 45m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H c. 0.9m; ext. H c. 0.9m) along the N and NE arcs and by a scarp (H 0.3m) along the W arc. A break in slope appears to define the S half of the rath. It is indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 35m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
