What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle NE-facing slope. This rath has been levelled and the remains consist of a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. c. 21m) raised 0.2-1m above the surrounding ground level. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a slightly oval embanked enclosure and on the 1911 OS 6-inch map as a circular raised area with the NW arc incorporated into a field boundary. 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).
