The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. This rath has been levelled and is evident as a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a low rise (Wth 11m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.4m) SW-S. An external fosse (Wth 2.5m) is evident NNE-SE. The water from a nearby spring skirts the fosse externally. The interior slopes down to a poorly drained area in the S sector. Three other raths (KE057-013----, KE057-015----, KE057-016----) are c. 150m to the WSW, c. 30m to the E and c. 150m to the E, respectively.
