In rocky pasture, on the E outskirts of Tobercurry town and in the NW corner of a field bordered to the N by a road and to the W by a disused lane. A dense thicket of blackthorn bushes and brambles now covers the rath which appears to survive as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by remnants of a stony scarp (H c. 7m) visible along the E arc and truncated by field boundary along its W arc. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) truncated at W by a field boundary and at N by a road. The 1838 map also shows two souterrains (SL038-035001-; SL038-035002-) named 'Caves', one on the NW edge and the other within the SW quadrant 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).
