In undulating pasture, on a rise. The rath is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an embanked subcircular area (diam. c. 15m) bisected on a N-S axis by a road. There is no visible remains of the rath on the E side of the road. An arc (S-N) of an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.45m) is evident on the W side of road. A field boundary crosses the S end. 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).
