What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on top of a ridge in the S corner of a field. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 29m) defined by a scarp (H 1m) with remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m) along the SW arc. The rath is truncated by a NE-SW trackway at SE and by a NW-SE field boundary at SW. It is overgrown with hawthorn bushes and scrub. 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).
