The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the NW-facing slope of a ridge; the land to N and W is planted with trees. A slightly raised roughly circular area (22m N-S; 19m E-W) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m). A shallow external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m) is evident all round. Numerous gaps occur in the bank including at SE (Wth 3m) and at E (Wth 2m). Another rath (SL027-147----) lies c. 150m to ESE on the same ridge.
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).
