In low-lying rough pasture, on top of a low ridge. An oval area (32m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; max. int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.1m) with the remains of stone facing noted on the external face. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the S arc. The interior is slightly concave and it slopes down to S. The slightly raised central area appears to be composed of large stones now hidden in long grass and may be result of field clearance. The E-facing scarp (H 1m; long axis N-S) located c. 5m in from the E bank separates the higher W portion of interior from the lower E portion. There are two other raths (SL027-105----; SL027-107----) c. 30m to W and c. 50m to E respectively.
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).
