In pasture, on the SW-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (diam. c. 23m) terraced into the hillslope with the E side up to 1.25m below and W side up to 0.5m above the external ground level. The foundations of a drystone wall extends E-W for c. 10m along the S arc. The rath is heavily overgrown. It was described during a previous inspection in 1977 (SMR (1989) file) as having a low earth and stone bank (Wth c. 3m; H c. 0.3m) along the N and S arcs, a scarp (H c. 1.25m) along the W arc, with the E side cut into the hillside. Stone facing was noted on the inner edge of the bank at S.
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).
