Description
In a forest plantation, on a SE-facing slope just below the top of a ridge. A grass-covered slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) SE-NW and by a scarp elsewhere. The interior slopes markedly down to E. A slight dip (Wth c. 3m; D 0.2m) evident SW-WNW may indicate an infilled external fosse. A possible entrance (Wth 3m) at E was noted during a previous site inspection in 1973 (SMR (1989) file). There is a farm trackway immediately to E. Another rath (SL027-009----) lies c. 30m to NE. 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).
