The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise on a gentle S-facing slope. This rath is levelled. The present remains consist of a circular area (diam. 27.5m) raised 0.5-0.8m above the surrounding ground level. There is a souterrain (SL032-051002-) in the N half of the interior. The rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 30m).
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).
