What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a ridge. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m). This rath has been levelled and is now evident as a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 26m; H 0.8m). A slight dip (Wth c. 3.5m) evident SW-NNE may indicate an infilled fosse. A field boundary crosses the W half of the interior, close to the perimeter. 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).
