The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise. A slightly raised circular area (25.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 3.2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.05m) NW-NE and S-SW and by a scarp (H 0.6m) SE-S. The bank is levelled along the E arc. There are numerous gaps in the bank. A small quarry cuts into rath at W. There is a souterrain (SL032-004002-) in the SSW portion of the interior.
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).
