In pasture, located on top of the S end of a prominent N−S ridge, which provides extensive views of the surrounding area. Raised oval area (c. 40m N−S; c. 35m E−W) defined by a bank, and enclosed by an external fosse. The bank rises c. 0.8-1m above interior ground level, and has a steep external slope (ext. H 1.7-2m, 3m to base of fosse at NE). The bank is topped by much moss-covered stone, which appears to be the remnant of a wall (Wth 1.6m; H 0.3-0.6m) of relatively recent date. At E there is a stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 2.6m) through the bank. The fosse is clearly evident on the N arc as a broad depression (Wth 3-4m at top, 2m at base; ext. D c. 0.5m), but is very shallow (ext. D 0.2m) elsewhere, and obscured by a farm track at SW-W. A section of the bank and fosse at NW has been quarried away. A later field wall, on a roughly NW−SE axis, extends across the N edge of the rath. The rath is engulfed in overgrowth and densely ringed by trees, rendering inspection difficult.

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.
