In pasture, on a low rise on the E-facing slope of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (29m N-S; 25.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 2.8m) SSW-SSE and by a scarp elsewhere. An intervening fosse (max. Wth 8m) is evident SE-NNE. An outer earthen bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) is evident SSW-N. The inner face of the inner bank is revetted in parts by a drystone wall along the E arc. The interior is raised between 0.45m and 2m in height above the external ground level. The top of the low rise is located in the W portion of the interior. The edge of the rath is overgrown with brambles and hawthorn and the interior is under grass.
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).
