In pasture, on level ground on the lower S slopes of a ridge. An arc (C c. 35m) formed by a scarp (H 0.5m) SSE-NW abuts a modern field fence (on an E-W axis) at N and a hedgerow (on a N-S axis) at E. A second hedgerow (on an E-W axis) abuts the N-S hedgerow, extends across the S portion of the interior and through to the scarp at SW. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) truncated to E and S by a lane. The arc of the W scarp is hachured on the 1914 OS 6-inch map.
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).
