In rocky pasture. There is no visible remains of this possible rath. A large disused limestone quarry occupies the area. A large embanked circular area (diam. c. 50m) is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. There is a possible rath (SL028-006----) c. 20m to W.
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).
