What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope and immediately W of a road. A raised circular area (29.5m N-S) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.3m) NE-NW and by a scarp (H 1m) elsewhere. Numerous cattle gaps occur in the bank, including one at NW with a recently constructed ramp from the outside. A band of rushes (Wth 3m), evident in places around the bank, may indicate a silted-up external fosse. Some hawthorn bushes grow on the rath and a shed is built a short distance to N. 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).
