In pasture, on top of a drumlin. An arc formed by a scarp NE-SSE and by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.7m) with an external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 0.1m) SSE-SW encloses an area (dims. 25.3m N-S; 33m E-W) at the NW corner of a field (Pl. 36). This appears to be remains of a rath which has been truncated by the field boundaries at N and NW. There are no visible remains of the rath in the field to the N. A conjoined rath (SL038-119001-) lies on the opposite side of the field boundary at NW.
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).
