The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, immediately NE of the Dooneen-Knockatagglebeg road. A circular area (c. 32m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.12m). An NE-SW field boundary (H c. 1.6m) skirts the bank at SE. The interior is concave. A prostrate stone lies in the N quadrant. A road boundary abuts the bank tangentially along the SW arc. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m).
