In pasture, located on a low elevation in gently rolling terrain, with good views generally. Raised earthen platform (29.2m N–S; 28m E–W) defined by a scarp (H 1.7m at W, 1.5m at E). The scarp is well defined, with much angular stone protruding on the W arc. At the foot of the scarp the rath is encircled by a cropmark/ band (Wth c. 2m) of higher, greener grass, clearest on the NE arc, which may be evidence of an infilled external fosse. There is a sloping gap (W 1m) in the scarp at NE and a broad, slumped gap (Wth 3.2m) at SSW. In the interior, slight surface linear features on a NNE-SSW may be remnants of cultivation ridges. Grass cover, with a few hawthorn trees around the perimeter.

In pasture, on a N-flowing stream, c. 150m S of Ballyhowley Castle, a tower house (MA092-039001-). A mill is listed in the Strafford Inquisition of County Mayo (O'Sullivan, W. 1958, 105): '…the castle and town of Bellaghowly, with 3qrs and 3 cartons of land and a cornmill thereunto adjoining…'. The mill is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an E-W rectangular building, named ‘Corn Mill’, which straddles the N-flowing stream. The remains consist of the W gable (6.5m N–S; T 0.65m; H c. 5.5m), with slight returns of the N and S walls, located 2m W of the stream. The walls are constructed of mortared stone. There is a square window just below the apex of the gable, at second story/attic level. The proximity of the gable to the stream indicates that the building did straddle the stream.
