What is recorded here

In rough pasture, at the base of the gentle SE-facing slope of a ridge and to W of a bend in the Arrow or Unshin River. A circular area (36m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.3m) NW-SE. A curved field boundary and trackway replace the bank SE-SW. A N-S field boundary truncates the W edge of the rath. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3m) in the N arc. In the NE quadrant of the level interior is a subcircular platform (H 0.6m; diam. 14m) extending inwards from the enclosing bank. The rath is covered with overgrowth. 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).
