The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in undulating land. The remains of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is visible in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2114). It is not visible at ground level. This is probably the rath which was recorded in the 1840s in the NE side of Lismongane (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 1, 45).
