In pasture, on the SE-facing slope of a rise. A D-shaped area (dims. 21m E-W), with a straight E side (L 27m), defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 4.4-7.4m; H 0.6m) SE-W and by an inner-facing scarp (H 0.25m) W-N. The straight side is defined by a N-S field boundary. No remains of the rath are visible at ground level on the E side of the field boundary. The N portion of the interior is cut into the upslope and the S portion is raised c. 0.15m to compensate for the hillslope. A cashel (SL038-038001-) lies c. 20m to N.
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).
