On a gentle S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (c. 27m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by two flat-topped earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m) is heavily eroded. The flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 4m) is boggy. The outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) is only evident along the S and W arcs. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The rath is covered with overgrowth. Indicated on both the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) incorporated into the field boundary system NNW-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). Date of upload: 18 January 2008

The S portion of the interior is raised slightly and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope, though the interior still retains a slight slope down to the S. The rath is indicated as an embanked circular area, incorporated into a field boundary S-NNW, on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as a roughly D-shaped area on the 1914 OS 6-inch map with the linear W side indicated as part of 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).

An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; D c. 0.7m) is at the base of the bank on the E side. The remains of an E-W field boundary lies immediately to N. Indicated as a circular enclosure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map in the NW corner of a field and as a rectangular enclosure on the 1914 OS 6-inch map, defined by hachures on the S and E sides and by field boundaries on the N and W sides. 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

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
