The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rough pasture, on the NE-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (diam. 26m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) E-NW with stone revetment and by a scarp (H 1.3m) NW-E. The N portion of the level interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. There is a NNE-SSW field boundary immediately to ESE. The perimeter of the rath is overgrown.
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).
