In pasture, on a rise and separated from another rath (SL025-132----) c. 100m to NNE by a small marshy pool. A raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 3m). The inner bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.8m) is evident along the W, N and E arcs and the interior is defined by a scarp along the S arc. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) through the inner bank at ESE. Traces of internal stone kerbing were noted on the bank in the vicinity of the entrance. The outer bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.7m) is levelled along the E arc. The rath is densely overgrown with bushes and the interior is impenetrable.
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).
