In pasture, on top of a knoll on the upper S-facing slope of a ridge. A slightly raised D-shaped area (dims. 36m NW-SE; 28.4m NNE-SSW) defined by gapped earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) SW-N and on the linear NNE side and by a scarp elsewhere. The interior slopes gently down to SE. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 35m). A linear bank, visible in aerial photograph (CUCAP, ALP 30) taken in 1965, extends for a short distance to NW beyond the rath.
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).
