On the lower S-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. A slightly raised roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.7m) along the W, N and E arcs. An intervening fosse (Wth 7m) is evident all round. An outer earthen bank (Wth 4m; ext. H 1.4m) is visible along the S and E arcs, stone-faced in parts. A farm house and outbuilding encroach on the NW and N edges. The rath is densely overgrown with bushes and briars. The interior is level but mainly inaccessible due to overgrowth. There is a possible souterrain (SL036-016002-) in the interior.
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).
