In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. An oval area (dims. 28m N-S; 37.5m E-W) raised up to 1.2m above the external ground level. There is a faint trace of an external fosse (Wth 7.4m; D 0.15m) evident along the NW arc. There is a possible entrance feature at E, formed by a low ramp (Wth c. 3.8m) rising from the exterior to the edge of the interior. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area surrounded by trees and on the 1911 OS 6-inch map as a hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 35m) immediately to the S of a lane.
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).
