What is recorded here

In the NW quadrant of a rath (SL033-085----). A trench (L 16m SW-NE; Wth 3.7m; D 1.15m), the SW end of which lies close to the inner bank of the rath, may be the remains of a souterrain. There are low piles of earth and rock debris at the NE end of the trench. There is a local tradition of a 'cave' in 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).
