In pasture, located on a low rise with good views, c. 100m of N of the townland boundary in the S half of the townland. A slightly raised circular area (29.4m NNW–SSE; 27.4m ENE-WSW) defined by remnants of a stony bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.55m at SSE, 1.4m at N). The bank is evident as an earthen scrap with a low internal rise, topped with a sod-covered stony lip (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2m). The scarp is low at SE–S. There is a low area or break (Wth c. 2m) at NW. In the level interior, faint linear features, on roughly N–S axis, may be relict cultivation ridges. According to local information, the interior was used as a children’s burial ground (MA062-022001-). A remnant of a field fence skirts the rath at SSE–SW, merging with the external face of the bank at WNW–W, but has been removed where it continued beyond the rath to NW. Heaps of field clearance stones lie adjacent to the rath at SE. There are hawthorn and blackthorn bushes on the perimeter at SE–W, which are encroaching on the interior.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. 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.
