On the top of a drumlin. A raised subcircular area (26.8m N-S; 18.7m E-W) defined for a short stretch along the S arc by a low bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.05m). The rath has been quarried into at NW and SW. It was indicated as an embanked circular area on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as a hachured irregular raised area on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).
