In pasture, on the summit of a small drumlin on a slight E-facing slope. The W and S sides of the drumlin are covered with mature deciduous trees. An oval area (25m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a low scarp (ext. H 0.4m) E-NNE. The scarp is topped by earth and stone field boundaries SSE-S and NNW-N. The steep natural slope of the drumlin breaks immediately outside the scarp S-NW. The interior slopes down to E and is under patchy grass. An internal division, described in the S half of the rath during a previous site inspection in 1993 (SMR (1989) file), has been levelled and only traces of it are now visible as a bank of stony soil (Wth 1.8m) enclosing an area c. 12m E-W and c. 8m N-S.
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).
