In rough pasture, on the W-facing slope of a ridge. The remains of a circular area (int. diam. 52m N-S; 54m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3m) NE-S and by a scarp NNW-NE. An external fosse (Wth 5m; D 1.2m) is evident along the E arc, silted-up along the W arc where it is marked by a thick band of irises. The interior slopes gently down to W. A NE-SW field boundary incorporates the E bank of the rath and joins another field boundary (on a NW-SE axis) to S which cuts across the line of the fosse on the SW edge of the rath.
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).
