What is recorded here

In pasture, on top of a low rise. This possible rath has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. According to local information, a circular slightly sunken area (diam. c. 31m) defined by a possible levelled bank was noted in 1986 as well as a blocked possible souterrain (SL037-005002-) (pers. comm. Will Forbes). 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).
