On the level summit of a narrow ridge. A raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by the remains of two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (int. H 0.4m) is only evident W-N, elsewhere the interior is defined by a scarp (H c. 1.1m). The intervening fosse is evident W-ESE, it is widest (Wth 7m) at NE and narrowest (Wth 2m) at NW; rushes grow in the widest part. An arc of a possible outer bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.5m) is evident NE-E. Some hawthorn bushes grow around the perimeter of the rath.
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).
