Located at the crest of a NW-facing slope in the N foothills of Slieve na Calliagh ridge. There is a small subrectangular grass-covered annexe (dims c. 16m E-W; c. 16m N-S) defined by a curving earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m) and outer fosse (at W: Wth of top 5.5m; ext. D 0.2m) W of rath (ME009-058----), but its N extent is truncated by a NE-SW field wall and townland boundary with Drumsawry or Summerbank.
