In pasture, on the crest of a ridge to the SW of Curramore Hill. This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. An arc of earthen bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) survives NE-E. The remainder of the rath has been landscaped by the introduction of earth and the formation of a scarp (H 1.5m) which may be approximately on the line of the bank. The interior (31m E-W; 28m N-S) is now a landscaped garden with an entrance at W. A boulder and other smaller stones which protrude from the surface of the interior are, according to local information, in their original positions. Trees have been planted around the perimeter of the rath. According to local information, there is a souterrain (KE093-049001-) and a children's burial ground (KE093-049002-) in this rath.

The entrance passage (Wth 1m), with sides defined by upright stones (max. H 1m), is at SE. The S portion of the interior appears to have been raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. A multiple-stone circle (KE093-050001-) is 20m to the NW.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
