In pasture, on a steep SW-facing slope. An oval area (48m NW-SE; 38m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8m) SSW-S and truncated by a field boundary S-SSW. An external fosse (Wth 3m; D 1.3m) is evident NW-E. The SW portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the slope, however it still retains a steep slope down to SW. Near the centre of the interior is a raised circular area (diam. 23m NW-SE) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) along the E arc and by a scarp elsewhere. A rectangular quarry-hole (D 2m) is evident on the N side of this internal enclosure. Trees grow along the perimeter 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).
