In pasture, at the N end of a summit of what was originally a bog-island. A raised circular area (26.6m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.9m) SE-NW and by a scarp (H 1.2m) elsewhere. The bank is straight along the S edge but is curved elsewhere. The interior is level. A quarry cuts into the scarp at NE. The rath is indicated as a roughly oval enclosure (c. 30m x c. 35m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
