In pasture, on the E-facing slope of a ridge. A semicircular area (53.8m N-S) defined by an arc of earthen bank SSE-N and open elsewhere as indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. The bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.45m) has an external drain (Wth 1.4m; D 0.3m). Gap (Wth 3m) at N. The interior slopes markedly down to E. A linear earthen bank (L 13.4m; Wth 2.9m; H 0.9m) in the NW quadrant extends E into the interior from the bank of the rath at NW. Field boundaries abut the enclosing bank at N and S. There is a quarry pit immediately to S and another c. 100m to N.
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).
