What is recorded here

On a S-facing slope, below the summit of a ridge. The rath is inaccessible due to dense overgrowth of blackthorn bushes. The S half of the interior appears to be raised to compensate for the hillslope. A small portion of the external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.8m) is evident along the NW arc. Indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map while it is more oval (c. 30m x 20m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).
