In pasture, at the gently sloping SW end of a ridge. This rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked oval area (35m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) straddling a NW-SE field boundary. The rath is now mostly levelled and is evident as slightly raised roughly circular area (37.5m NW-SE; 33.7m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.1m) S-WNW and by a slight scarp elsewhere. A NW-SE field boundary crosses the W half of the interior. An opening to a possible souterrain (SL025-087001-) is in the outer face of the bank at W.
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).
