The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a ridge. According to local information, this rath was levelled c. 1980. It is evident as a raised oval area (40m NE-SW; 33.5m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H c. 0.3m). Indicated as an embanked oval area on the 1914 OS 6-inch map and as an embanked circular area 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).
