In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. The rath is levelled. It is now evident as a slightly raised circular area (diam. 34m) surrounded by a wide fosse (Wth 8m; D 0.2m) along the S, W and NW arcs. The interior slopes gently down to E and is crossed by the remains of cultivation ridges. The fosse is visible all round as a shadow site in an aerial photograph taken in 1968 (CUCAP, AVI 92). The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area and on 1914 OS 6-inch map as a hachured circular raised area.
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).
