The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the N-facing slope of a drumlin. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 30m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; its location was indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map only by a kink in the field boundary at NW. The Owenmore River is c. 150m to N.
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).
