In pasture, on a gentle NE-facing slope. A raised D-shaped area (31m NW-SE; 18.5m NE-SW) with a WNW-ESE field boundary forming the straight N side. The interior is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.3m) along the W, E and SE arcs. A disused road cuts the rath off centre to W on a NNE-SSW axis. According to local information, this rath was used as a burial ground (SL037-079002-) for unbaptised children.
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).
