The National Monuments Service's description
On high ground overlooking the Collooney-Sligo road to E. An oval area (28m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 2m), which is partially covered with overgrowth. The adjacent field boundaries have been removed. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked oval area (c. 25m NW-SE; c. 18m NE-SW).
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).
