What is recorded here

On top of a ridge, recently planted with trees. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 27m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m). An earthen bank evident along the N arc (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.7m) appears to be part of or incorporated into a field boundary system. The interior is crossed by narrow forestry trenches on a N-S axis. The southern edge of the rath is difficult to trace due to disturbance by forestry. 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).
