In undulating pasture, close to the break of slope on the NW side of a ridge. A raised circular area (26m NW-SE) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse (Wth 4m). The inner bank (Wth 10.8m; int. H 1.35m; ext. H 4.7m) has an entrance (Wth 3.5m) at S with a causeway across the fosse and there is a corresponding entrance in the outer bank. The outer bank (Wth 5.7m; int. H 1.55m; ext. H 1.4m) has much tumbled stone on its internal face along the W arc. The W portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope and is covered with nettles. The remainder of the interior is covered with thistles. Both banks are ringed with hawthorn bushes. Immediately to W of rath is a natural terrace (c. 20m E-W; 40m N-S).
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).
