What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on a N-facing slope. A slightly raised circular area (21m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m), with remains of internal stone facing, along the E and SE arc and by a scarp elsewhere. An external boggy fosse (Wth 6m; D 1m) is evident all round. The rath is overgrown with hawthorn bushes and scrub. A N-S field boundary lies to E. 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).
