In pasture, on top of the W end of a ridge. A raised circular area (int. diam. 17m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.7m). Along the E arc the bank is straighter and higher than elsewhere as it formed part of N-S field boundary indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. Immediately to E of this linear section of the bank is a crescent shaped area (17m N-S; 5m E-W) quarried out to a depth of 1.5m. A roughly circular hollow (diam. c. 5m), abutting the SW side of the rath, is now partially filled with boulders.
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).
