The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing slope of a rise. An oval area (16m N-S; 24m E-W), terraced into the hillslope, defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.75m) along the S, W and E arcs and by a scarp along N arc. The S portion is 0.2m below and the N portion 1.2m above the external ground level. The interior is densely overgrown. Material from drain digging is dumped on the rath.
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).
