The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the lower W-facing slope of a ridge. This possible rath consists of an arc of scarp (H 1.4m) NW-N and an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) N-NE, close to the S corner of a field. It was indicated only on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures NNW-NE that abuts the field boundaries in the S corner of the field.
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).
