The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the NE side Annaghroe Island in the NE end of Lough Conn. The island lies close to the shore and is accessible via a causeway (MA039-069----), indicated as ‘Ford’ on the 1930 OS 6-inch map. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as an embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m). It has been entirely levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level. There is a rath (MA039-068) 100m to S.
