The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 and 1894-5 OS 6-inch maps. It is probably 'Gortdarrig Fort', recorded in the 1840s as being in the E side of the townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 1, 18).
