Situated on the lower N-facing slope of Glencar valley with a S-N gully (D c. 5m) immediately to the W and a cliff (H c. 10m) falling away to the N. An entrance (Wth 0.7m; H 0.9m) at the centre of rath (LE007-05901--) leads to a small lintelled passage (max. Wth 1.05m; H 1.4m; L 4m E-W) with an air-vent (dims 0.17m x 0.17m; L 0.8m) in the back wall. The air-vent opens onto the cliff at W on which the rath is situated.
