In rough pasture on a natural rise with a fall of ground to the stream at SE. This possible rath is indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 40m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. The rath is levelled but visible as a roughly circular area (c. 27m N-S; 26m E-W) defined W-NW by gentle undulation, NNW-NNE by the slope of a natural rise and NE-ESE by the remnants of a scarp (H 0.6m) cut into the natural slope. A band of brambles appears to mark the S limits and may be related to a linear cropmark (Wth c. 2m) of long grass, rushes and gorse which extends W from the SW edge of the possible rath. This cropmark is probably a levelled field fence that skirted the possible rath. The interior is fairly level but it has an uneven surface, broken by shallow hollows and low hummocks.
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).
