In pasture, on an E-facing slope. A circular area (25m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by the remains of two earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 1m: ext. H 0.75m) has a gap at S. The outer bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.5m) and the flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.6m) are evident ESE-NNW. The W portion of the interior is cut into the hillslope and the E portion is raised 1.55m to compensate for the slope, though it still retains a steep slope down to E. Bushes grow on the perimeter of the rath.
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).
