In undulating pasture, on top of a narrow NE-SW ridge and close to a break in slope; excellent views of the surrounding countryside. This rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m). This circular area (29.7m NE-SW) is now truncated along the SE arc by a NE-SW steep quarry face. The remaining interior is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) SSW-N and by a scarp (H 1.1m) N-E. A barely discernible depression, noted outside the bank along the W arc, possibly represents the line of the external fosse. The interior is level.
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).
