What is recorded here

On a break, in a W-facing slope. An arc (C c. 30m) of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.9m), evident E-S and enclosing the corner of a field, appears to form the E quadrant of a large rath. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m), truncated along the N arc by a NE-SW field boundary. It is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as described above with the arc of the bank indicated as a hachured scarp. 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).
