The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on top of a ridge. An oval area (24m E-W; 18m N-S) marked by lush grass and defined by faint traces of an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) along the S arc. A band of irises (Wth 1.5m) may mark the line of a silted-up fosse. Another rath (SL034-134----) is c. 80m to W.
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).
