What is recorded here

In the interior of a rath (SL026-051001-). Described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a prostrate stone (L 2.7m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.5m) lying against the internal bank face at N, which according to local information, had formerly stood upright in the interior of the rath (SMR (1989) file). The stone was subsequently re-erected on the bank at N where it stood to a height of 2m above ground level. The rath was levelled in July/August 2007 and the stone, now prostrate, has been incorporated into a field boundary. 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). In this instance the entry has been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Paul Walsh Date of upload/revision: 16 August 2007
