The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low terrace above a flood plain and c. 120m W of the River Moy. The rath is levelled. The NE quadrant is evident as an arc, NNE-E, formed by a scarp (H c. 0.6m). A garden wall bisects the area on N-S axis, with the W half now within the garden of a bungalow. There is a possible souterrain (SL032-002002-) in the interior. The rath is indicated as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
