What is recorded here

In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. An arc (C 24m) NE-SE of the rath, evident as a scarp (H 1.2m), and an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.4m) encloses the W corner of the field. The remainder of the rath is not visible at ground level. An arc NE-SE is indicated on the 1944 OS 6-inch map as a single line of hachures indicating a rise. 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).
