In pasture, on a slight W-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) and on the 1941 OS 6-inch map as a circular raised area (diam. c. 40m). It was described during a previous inspection in 1985 (SMR (1989) file) as an irregular oval earthwork defined by a bank NE-NW and by a scarp NW-NE. A fosse and a low outer bank were noted along the S arc. The interior was described as uneven with a rise in the W half.
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).
