In rolling pasture, on top of a drumlin. A raised circular area (int. diam. 23.7m N-S; 24.7m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.2m) along the W, N and E arcs and by a scarp (H 1.4m) along the S arc. An external fosse (Wth 5.3m; D 0.2-0.3m) is evident at the base of the bank. The entrance is at NW, with a causeway (Wth 4.4m) across the fosse. The rath is partly quarried at W and S. There is a souterrain (SL039-085002-) opening into the fosse, immediately to W of the causeway. 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).
