In pasture, at the W boundary of the townland, located on a low rise with a gentle slope to E. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure, incorporated into the townland boundary on the W side, and on the 1920 edition as a penannular hachured area open to the SW. It has been partly levelled. The outline of roughly semi-circular area (25.8m NW–SE), representing the N half of the original enclosure, can still be discerned, defined by a levelled scarp. At SW–NW the scarp is reduced to a slight rise, faced externally by the extant townland boundary wall. At N–E the scarp (Wth slope 5.5m; ext. H 1m, at NE) has a broadly slumped slope, and is overlain at NE by a modern shed. The S-SSW section of the enclosure can no longer be traced.

In pasture, adjacent to the SW boundary of the townland, utilising a prominent natural rise, with a pronounced fall of ground on the S side. The location provides commanding views over the surrounding gently undulating terrain, and along the E−W course of the Bracklagh River, which is 80m to S. The rath is evident as a flat-topped oval platform (55.5m NW–SE; 36m NE–SW) defined by a scarp (H 1m), which is enhance on the S half by the pronounced natural fall of ground. Stones protrude along the top of the scarp around the circuit. At S–W a low stony rise (Wth c. 3m) tops the scarp, with a number of large stones protruding along the top edge of the external slope, possibly the remnants of a wall; This may be remnants of the townland boundary as shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, which at that time intersected with the W side of the rath. The present-day townland boundary lies c. 30-40m to W of the rath. The interior is level, but has an uneven surface. The location of the original entrance is not obvious –one possibility is that it was somewhere on the NE arc where the exterior slope is lowest. There is a small sod-covered stony rise in the centre of the interior, possibly a field clearance heap. At the E, on the line of the scarp there is an irregular-shaped hollow (max. dim. c. 8m; D c. 0.7m) which, according to local tradition, marks the site of a ‘cave’ or souterrain (MA063-021002-) Sand has been quarried from the slope of the knoll, leaving irregular-shaped quarry pits, which abut the edge of the rath at NNE (max. dim. c. 25m), at S (diam. c. 15m), at NW (max. dim. c. 15-20m). On the 1920 OS 6-inch map the rath and the surrounding field are shown planted with trees; these have been removed, although a number of decaying tree stumps can still be seen in parts.

In a rath (MA063-021001-). According to local tradition, an irregular-shaped hollow (c. 8m N−S; 3m E−W; D c. 0.7m), located on the line of the rath scarp at E, is the location of a souterrain. No structural remains of a souterrain are evident at ground level.
