Description
In pasture, located on the top of a N–S ridge, close to the S end of the ridge. There is a steep fall of ground on the W side of the ridge, and a more gradual slope on the E side. The ridge provides panoramic views of the surrounding rolling grassland, an expanse of bog to S, and an area of marshy ground on the shores of Cloonagh Lough, which lies c. 200m to N. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (36m N–S; 34m E–W) defined by a low bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.9m, at N). The bank retains a low internal lip at N and S, but elsewhere is mainly reduced to a scarp. At S a line of small stones protruding from the sod appears to mark the inner edge of the bank. There is a slightly raised area to W of centre in the interior, and a slight slope to E and SE from the centre. Grass cover, with hawthorn trees around the perimeter.

H 0.4m at NW, 0.3m at SW; ext. H 1.3m at NW, 1.6m at SW). The bank is generally low and uniform in size, but at SW it has a broadly slumped external slope. The interior is level, but with a slight slope down to NE in the NE quadrant. There is a low area or gap (Wth 1.6m) in the bank at E and another (Wth 1.2) at N. A post and wire fence extends through the SE side of the interior. A farm track lies close to the SW side of the rath. A quarry pit (c. 12m N–S; c. 8m E–W) has been dug into the W slope of the rise on which the rath is located. Grass cover, with beech and ash trees on the perimeter.
