What is recorded here

In pasture, on a rise. A raised oval area (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 27m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1m). The interior is bisected by an ENE-WSW field boundary; the S half slopes down to SE, steeply at first with a more gentle slope closer to the edge. There is a hut site (SL032-123002-) in the SE quadrant. A limekiln was indicated in the vicinity of this rath on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. 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).
