The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on top of a rise with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. This possible rath is not visible at ground level and, according to local information, it was levelled in the 1960s. Also according to local information, it comprised a circular level area defined by a single earthen bank. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map.
