Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This rath was described in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 19.1m N-S; 17.4m E-W) defined by a scarp (at E: Wth 3.8m; H 0.4m), except at NNE where an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.6m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.9m) survived. There was no visible fosse or identifiable entrance, and the perimeter was slightly truncated by a N-S field bank at W. Its visible profile had been greatly reduced by 2005 (OSAP). Rath (LE032-018----) is c. 35m to the W, rath (LE032-020----) is c. 40m to the E, and rath (LE032-021----) is c. 80m to the S.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
