The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope, on a slight ENE-WSW spur. The fields (ME027-032001-) surrounding the rath (ME027-032----) include a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse, which is probably another rath. It is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018, and it was first reported by Noel Meehan.
