Near the base of the W-facing slope of a ridge. The rath is indicated only on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an arc S-N. The remains of a circular rath (diam. 22m N-S) consisting of arcs of two concentric earthen banks S-N with an intervening fosse evident. The inner bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m) is overgrown and eroded. The fosse (Wth 4m) is boggy and the outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) is evident as pile of loose stones. The remains of the rath is now covered with overgrowth.
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).
