On a gentle S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (c. 27m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by two flat-topped earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m) is heavily eroded. The flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 4m) is boggy. The outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) is only evident along the S and W arcs. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The rath is covered with overgrowth. Indicated on both the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) incorporated into the field boundary system NNW-E.
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).
