In pasture, on a low roughly circular rise with gently sloping sides. An oval area (51m N-S; 36m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 2m) is generally low internally, particularly along the E arc. The entrance (Wth 1.4m) at E is concealed by overgrowth with some stone facing evident. The fosse (Wth 3m) is evident SE-N though very faint SE-S, replaced by a field boundary N-NE and infilled elsewhere. The outer bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident S-N, replaced by a field boundary N-NE and levelled NE-ESE. The interior is level; an arc of scarp (H 0.3m) N-S faces the entrance in the E half. Both banks are densely overgrown with bushes. There is a rock outcrop close by to E. Another rath (SL025-134----) lies c. 100m to SSW.
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).
