What is recorded here

In pasture, on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of an oval area (int. diam. 23.1m N-S; 30.7m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 1.55m) except along the W arc. The E and SE portions of the interior are raised to compensate for the hillslope. Indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 20m) on the 1914 OS 6-inch map and on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A field boundary, which was indicated as incorporating the bank SSE-W on the 1914 OS 6-inch map, has also been levelled. 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).
