What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope, straddling the townland boundary between Carrickbanagher and Lissaneena. A circular area (int. diam. 24m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.6m). Traces of an external fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.4m) are evident E-S. There is a causeway (Wth 4m) across the fosse at E. The rath is planted with trees and bisected by a N-S field boundary and deep drain. 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).
