What is recorded here

In rough grazing, close to the base of an E-facing slope. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval embanked area (c. 30m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW). The S half of the rath is now levelled and evident only as a slightly raised area while the N half is defined by a densely overgrown arc of earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; ext. H 0.2m). The interior slopes down to S. 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).
