In rough pasture, in a forest clearing at the NW end of an elevated ridge with extensive views in all directions. The rath was described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a circular area (diam. 24m) defined by the remains of an inner (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m) and outer (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) earthen bank and an intervening fosse (Wth 3m). There was an entrance (Wth 1.6m) noted at SE (SMR (1989) file). The perimeter of the rath is now densely covered with overgrowth and inaccessible, except for a limited area at the centre which is under high grass and rushes. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008 - SL034-018: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL034-018----. In a clearing in coniferous forest, on a slight NE-facing slope. This rath was described during a previous site inspection in 1992 as a poorly preserved roughly circular area (c. 18m N-S, c. 16m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) with a stone core along the N arc. The remainder of the rath was barely discernible as it had been heavily disturbed by forestry cultivation ridge, a N-S farm track which crosses the E side of the interior and a field boundary which truncates the E perimeter (SMR (1989) file). This rath is now completely inaccessible due to overgrowth. 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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008 - SL034-019: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL034-019----. On a S-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as semicircular arc of hachures S-N. 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).

In pasture, on a rise with good views to N. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a hachured arc S-N. The possible rath is levelled and only visible at ground level as a circular area (diam. c. 18m) defined by a very slight bank (Wth 2m; H 0.05m). The interior is undulating.
