What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the E-facing slope of a low rise. This rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a circular area open to the NE. The rath is now levelled and evident as a slightly raised circular area (c. 27.7m N-S; 28.4m E-W) defined by the remains of an earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank is evident as a broad low rise (ext. H 0.7m) SSE-NNE and is levelled elsewhere. The fosse is evident as a slight depression (Wth c. 2m) at S and NW. The interior slopes gently down 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).
