In pasture, on a S-facing slope of the Ox Mountains and in the N corner of a field. An oval area (c. 19m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m) SE-S, W-NW and by a scarp S-W. The bank is levelled NW-NE and truncated by a field boundary NE-SE. There is a terrace (Wth 7m; H 0.7m) outside the bank and scarp SE-SW. A short section of a possible outer earthen bank (H 0.7m) is evident c. 4m outside the perimeter of the rath at NW. The interior slopes down to S even though the S portion is raised by c. 1m to compensate for the hillslope. There is a souterrain (SL031-023002-) in the N half of the interior.
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).
