The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope, just SW of rath (RO022-122----). Known only from a distribution map (Herity 1987a, fig. 27, Ardkeenagh 2). A N-S field bank, continued to the N of an E-W field bank by a scarp (L 8m; H 0.8m) to the perimeter of the rath cannot be interpreted as an enclosure.
