In pasture, on top of a low narrow ridge. A slightly raised oval area (22.8m N-S; 27.7m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) SSW-SSE and by a scarp (H 0.85m), modified to conform to an adjacent E-W field boundary, SSE-SSW. The bank is evident SW-N as an eroded earthen rise with numerous small breaks and is incorporated into a field boundary, topped with a post and wire fence, NNE-SSE. There is a gap (Wth 1.5m) at SE. A shallow depression (Wth 2.4m) outside the scarp SSE-SSW, continues to the W beyond the rath. The interior is poorly drained and is poached by cattle. The perimeter is ringed with hawthorn, ash and brambles and is eroded by cattle.
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).
