The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on a low rise. Described in 1994 (SMR (1989) file) as the remains of an oval area (37m NW-SE; 46m SW-NE) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m) along the NW arc and by a scarp (H 0.6m) along the N, E and W arcs. A field boundary, cutting across the W half of the rath, was also noted as well as two modern hollows one to NW and the other to SE of the rath. On subsequent inspection it was noted that the outline of the rath can no longer be traced with certainty apart from a degraded scarp (H 0.8m), with slight internal lip (Wth 1.5m; H 0.2m), WSW-W and a slight rise (H 0.3m) W-N. Field boundaries shown on the 1914 OS 6-inch map immediately to NE have been removed.
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).
