In rough undulating pasture, near the top of a NE-facing slope. A raised semicircular area (25m NW-SE) on the SW side of a road. The interior is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m) S-W where it is incorporated into a field boundary, by a scarp (H 1.2m) W-NW and E-S and by a NW-SE road boundary on the NE side. There are no remains of the rath visible at ground level on the NE side of road. There is a recent gap (Wth 2m) at NW. A possible fosse (Wth 2m) is evident as slight depression S-W. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 28m).
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).
