The National Monuments Service's description
In a walled orchard, on a gentle SE-facing slope. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m), planted with trees. It is now levelled though a slight rise (diam. c. 20m) is noticeable in the area. The orchard is now used as a paddock for sheep.
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).
