What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H c. 1.2m) is best evident SW-W. A gap at S was noted during a previous site inspection in 1973 (SMR (1989) file). The rath is densely overgrown and the N edge is truncated by a field boundary. Another rath (SL027-008----) lies c. 30m to SW. 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).
