The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, to the SE of a bend in the road. The present remains consist of a semicircular area defined by an overgrown, earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.4m) N-SSE, by a scarp NNW-N and by a linear NNW-SSE field boundary at W which abuts the scarp and bank. The level interior is overgrown. There is no trace of the W half of the rath. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) crossed off-centre to the W by a NNW-SSE field boundary which is also the townland boundary between Ballytrasna and Trippeenagh.
