What is recorded here

In pasture, on a low rise. A raised circular area (26m N-S), truncated on its W edge by a field boundary giving an E-W dimension of 20m. The interior is defined by a scarp (H 0.8m). The external fosse (Wth 8m; D 0.6m) is evident along the N arc. The perimeter of the rath has been quarried into in parts. The interior slopes gently down to E. 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).
