The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise. A circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.2m), an intervening fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.45m W-NE and an outer bank (ext. H 1m) N-NE. The rath is covered in dense overgrowth along the E arc where the bank and fosse appear to have been removed. There is a possible cattle gap through the bank at S. The interior is covered in overgrowth, especially the SE quadrant which is completely inaccessible. A raised area protrudes into the interior from the inner face of the bank at SW. The rath is mentioned in the 1840s as being in the N end of Inchycullane (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 20).
