In pasture, on the W end of a low rise. A roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a curving hedgerow NNE-SSE, by a scarp (H 0.6m) SSE-SSW and by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m) NNW-NNE. The external bank face is stepped at N. Two boggy hollows of similar dimensions (12m E-W; 10m N-S) were noted, one outside the bank at N and the other outside the scarp at S. There is a lane immediately S of the rath. Only an arc of the hachured bank NNE-N and the curving field boundary NNE-SSE are indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map.
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).
