In a garden, adjacent to a farmstead. A roughly circular area (c. 31m N-S; c. 34m E-W) crossed E of centre by the remains of a N-S trackway evident as a depression (Wth 3.2m; D 0.35m) bordered on its E side by a wall. To W of the wall the rath is evident as a slightly raised semicircular area (c. 31m N-S; 21m E-W to field wall) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) S-N and covered with mature coniferous trees. To E of the wall the rath has been levelled to a flat area c. 0.5-0.7m lower than the W half. A large galvanised iron shed obliterates the NE quadrant but a slight curving undulation ESE-S appears to preserve the original outline of the rath. There is a souterrain (SL039-091002-) close to the scarp at W.
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).
