On the summit of a narrow ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 21m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) NNE-S. The bank is levelled elsewhere and the interior skirted by a curving field boundary. An external fosse (Wth c. 3m) is evident NNE-ESE. A gap (Wth 3m) occurs in the bank at NE. The interior is bisected by a N-S field boundary. A field boundary lies immediately to N of the rath. 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).
