On a hill summit overlooking the inner reaches of Streamstown Bay. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 25m; N-S 20.8m) defined by a bank. A modern field bank runs just outside the bank at SE. A rectangular depression (L 6m) in the NE portion of the interior appears to be modern. (Killanin 1954, 96)
