In pasture, on top of the N edge of a low rise. A raised circular area (38m N-S) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.9m) WNW-ESE and by a scarp elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 8.7m; D 1.35m) is evident E-WSW. There is an entrance (Wth c. 4m) at SE with a causeway across the fosse. The remains of a denuded outer earthen bank (int. H c. 1m) were noted during a previous inspection in 1987 (SMR (1989) file). The interior is raised c. 1.4m above the external ground level. The road indicated on 1838 OS 6-inch map immediately to N of the rath no longer survives.
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).
