In pasture, near the base of the W-facing slope of a ridge. This rath has been levelled; it is visible as an oval enclosure in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 290-89) as a cropmark of a bank and external fosse with a possible entrance at SW. It is visible at ground level as a roughly circular raised area (diam. c. 26m E-W) with a scarp along the W arc (H 1.6m) and along the E arc (0.5m). The line of the bank is marked by stunted growth of grass and to N a line of rushes (Wth c. 2m) may indicate a silted-up fosse.
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).
