In pasture, on a low E-W ridge overlooked by a parallel higher ridge to N. A slightly raised circular area (24m N-S; 24.6m E-W) bisected by a NNE-SSW field boundary with a drain (W 1m; D 0.3m) on its E side. A narrow earthen bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) with an almost vertical external face defines the W half of the rath. The E half of the rath is defined by a scarp (H 0.8m) except ENE-ESE where a low rise remains. The interior is level. There is a slight hollow without clearly defined limits in the SE quadrant. A telegraph pole stands on the bank 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).
