In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (36m N-S) raised up to 1.6m above the surrounding ground level. The interior is defined by a gapped flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.7m). The bank is higher W-N where it is incorporated into the townland boundary. A dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5.7m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) are evident S-W. There is a hut site (SL032-094002-) in the NW quadrant of the interior and a small quarry is evident in the bank at ESE. Field boundaries extend from the rath to S, W and N. A rectangular enclosure (SL032-093001-) lies c. 40m to SSW.
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).
