On top of a low rise. A raised circular area (29m NNE-SSW) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m). The entrance (Wth 3.8m) is in the at E arc, revetted on its S side by a large boulder. The interior is overgrown with blackthorn bushes and hazel trees have been planted on the bank. According to O'Rorke (1878, 305), Mass was said 'on or near the rath of Fal-na-sugan' and 'a hedge-school' was taught on weekdays in the ditch of the rath. There are three other raths (SL032-038----, SL032-039001-, SL032-064001-) in this townland and it is not known which was being referred to by O'Rorke.
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).
