In waterlogged pasture, on top of a low drumlin ridge. A D-shaped raised area (int. dims. 17.9m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.1m) N-S and on the straight W side (L 26.5m N-S) by a field boundary. The entrance (Wth 1.4m) is at SE. The interior slopes down to 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
- SL044-011: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL044-011----. In wet pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 20m E-W; 22.5m N-S) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank along the E arc (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext.

A field boundary slightly truncates the S edge of the rath. This field boundary was not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.

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.
