The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on level ground on the lower S-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (27m N-S; 23.5m E-W) raised between 0.2m (at N) and 1m (at S) above the surrounding ground level. A hedgerow crosses the interior on an E-W axis, off-centre to N. The rath is indicated as an embanked 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).
