The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (SL034-192001-). Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (d. 1950), in an undated report, described 'a winding wall' running diagonally across the rath and a possible 'clochán' in the centre (SMR (1989) file). There are no visible remains of these features as the E side and the interior of the rath are densely covered with overgrowth.
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).
