The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the break of a gentle SE-facing slope. A low rise and undulations define an area (diam. c. 38m) in the approximate location of the rath. According to local information, the rath was levelled 'years ago'. This is probably the rath which was recorded as 'East Nantenane fort' in the 1840s (OSNB, Killorglin, no. 1, 5). It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. An oval enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map with a field boundary curving to respect it along the W arc.
