In pasture, on the N-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (36.5m N-S; 36.5m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m). The N portion is raised c. 0.7m to compensate for the hillslope. Traces of an external facing of drystone walling are evident in places; cattle gaps were noted at N and S. The interior slopes gently down to N. Hawthorn bushes grow on the bank. A trackway approaches the rath from NW and skirts the W half of it.
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).
