In pasture, on level ground on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (30m N-S; 28.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) E-SSE and by a scarp (H 0.8m) elsewhere. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the bank at SE. An external, dry, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 0.8m) is evident NW-NNE, with a counterscarp bank (Wth 1.8m; ext. H 0.3m) NNW-NNE. The interior slopes down to SE. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL031-053002-) in the W half. The NE perimeter of the rath is truncated by 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).
