The inner face of the bank is highest along the E arc, elsewhere it is evident as a slight internal lip. A shallow external fosse (Wth 3m) is marked by a heavy growth of rushes. There is a souterrain (SL027-127002-) in the NW quadrant.

A stone-built passage (L 4m; Wth 1m; H 0.6m), built into the bank of the rath, extends north-eastwards into the interior of the rath but keeping close to the bank. The passage is intact at the SW end for a length of 2m and roofed with lintels. The remainder of the passage has collapsed.
