The National Monuments Service's description
In a forest, on top of a ridge. This rath was levelled c. 1984 during forestry plantation and is not visible at ground level. It was indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m). It was similarly indicated on the 1941-2 OS 6-inch map but with an external fosse indicated E-SW.
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).
