The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep wooded slope. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular embanked area (diam. c. 30m) at the junction of four field boundaries. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. The only remains of it visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 272-3) are arcs of two concentric banks SE-S.
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).
