What is recorded here

On top of a low rise. A raised circular area (diam. c. 33m) defined by a scarp (max. H 1m). An external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.3m) is evident E-S and along the W and NE arcs. An outer earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; ext. H 2m) skirts the fosse along the NE arc for c. 10m. The interior is slightly concave and has been quarried into at N and E. A quarry is also adjacent to the rath at SW. The edge of the interior is topped by a field boundary S-E. 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).
