In undulating pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. 33m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.7m) which is best preserved along the W arc. An external fosse (Wth 3m) is evident as a slight depression covered with nettles along the N and NE arcs. There is a possible entrance at SE where the external bank face is less steeply inclined. The interior is level. A NW-SE field boundary abuts the rath at NW. The rath was recorded in 1836 as 'Cappagh Fort' (OSNB vol. 2, 227).
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).
