In pasture, on an E-facing slope. An oval area (int. diam. 41m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 0.8m), best preserved at N. There is an entrance (Wth 6.1m) in the N arc. The E portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the slope. There is a possible souterrain (SL040-18802-) in the SW quadrant. The perimeter along the E and S arcs is densely overgrown. The rath was recorded in 1836 as 'Lios Bán' (OSL, 156).
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).
