What is recorded here

On a low rise of natural bedrock on a low ridge, immediately N of a stream. An arc (C c. 30m) of earth and stone bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m) is evident along the N and E arcs. A quarry (D 2m) has removed the remainder of the rath to within 6m of the surviving bank. A souterrain (SL027-130002-) is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map in the SW quadrant. Another rath (SL027-131----) lies c. 5m to E. 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).
