In pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope immediately E of the Galway-Sligo railway line. The remains of a raised roughly circular area (35.5m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.8m) along the S, N and W arcs. The rath has been severely damaged by extensive quarrying, probably during the construction of the adjacent railway line. Earthworks (SL037-080----) immediately to N seem to be remains of old field boundaries and scarps modifying natural contours.
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).
