Visit Notes

Sunday, 2nd November 2008

This small, 10m diameter rath is one of several in the immediate vicinity. It is located in one corner of the field where the beautiful bullaun stone can be found (see Leitrim North (County Sligo)).

The banks on the southern side are about 1m high on the outside, but the rest of the banks have been flattened. The drive to the farmhouse skirts around one edge, but hasn't encroached on it.
