What is recorded here

In pasture, at the N end of a low ridge and c. 20m to ESE of Abbey Court friary (SL032-047001-). A circular area (int. diam. 31m) enclosed by an earthen bank (max. Wth 4.1m; max. int. H 1m) with numerous gaps especially along the W arc. An external fosse (Wth c. 8m; D 0.1m) is evident along the SW arc. The interior is slightly raised. A possible souterrain (SL032-047006-) is associated with this rath and a field system (SL032-047004-) is adjacent to the rath. 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).
