What is recorded here

In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (33m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank is highest SW-NW (Wth 6m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 2m), low internally elsewhere and partially levelled at SW and NW. The interior slopes slightly down to S and is crossed off-centre to E by a NNE-SSW townland boundary. The E half of the interior is densely covered with overgrowth. Another rath (SL027-063----) lies c. 60m 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).
