In pasture, on top of a ridge, adjacent to a farmyard on the NE side of a road. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) which is best preserved along the N and E arcs. The remnants of internal stone kerbing is evident and a number of eroded gaps were noted along the bank. An external fosse (Wth c. 2m) is evident as a shallow depression. The farmyard boundary abuts the bank at E and S where the bank is heavily overgrown. There is a possible souterrain (SL034-103002-) in the SW quadrant. A trigonometrical station is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map on S 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).
