What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on the edge of a shallow cliff scarp. A portion of the W side of a circular area remains as an arc of an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m). The interior of the rath is lower than the external ground level. The rath is indicated on the 1944 OS 6-inch map as a circular platform (diam. c. 30m) with a quarry hole to W. The adjacent field boundaries have been removed. 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).
