• SL014-067 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on the NE outskirts of Sligo Town, located on top of an E-W elevation with a marked fall of ground to S giving extensive views. Immediately to N there a slight dip in ground level marked by a 20-30m wide expanse of low-lying damp, rush-covered ground. Beyond this the ground rises sharply in an E-W ridge that overlooks the rath. Slighlty raised, roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined S–NNW by a substantial earthen bank (Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2m), reduced elsewhere to a low scarp (ext. H 0.6-0.7m; Wth slope 1m), and enclosed by an external fosse (Wth 4m; ext. D 0.6m). At the SW there is a low area (Wth 1.4m) in the bank, but it does not appear to be the original entrance; there is no evidence of a corresponding causeway across the fosse at this point. An E-W property fence clips the outer edge of the fosse at N. A roughly circular, sod-covered earthen rise (diam. c. 4m; H 0.4m) is located within the fosse at E; it appears to be the result of relatively recent disturbance. The rath interior is level, and is densely covered in irises and nettles. Blackthorn, hawthorn scrub and a few large ash and sycamore trees grow on the bank.
