What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope and immediately N of a road. The rath is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) bisected by a NNW-SSE lane. An arc of an earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; H 0.5-1m), overgrown with trees and bushes, is now evident on the W side of lane. The bank is levelled on the E side of the lane and this half of the rath is now used as a garden. 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).
