In pasture, on top of a knoll on the summit of a rise. A roughly circular area (22.5m N-S; 25.5m E-W) raised a max. of 3.5m above the surrounding ground level. The edge of the interior is defined by the remains of grass-covered foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 1m; int. H 0.3m). A dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.5m) surrounds the raised interior, 2.7m below the top of the bank, and in turn is defined by a counterscarp bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m). There is a ramped entrance at SW. The interior slopes gently down to S. The rath is partially overgrown with hawthorn and the remainder is heavily poached by cattle. Field boundaries respect the rath to W, N and E.
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).
