The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of a NW-SE ridge at the S foot of Mewlaghadooey Hill. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 56m NW-SE; 49m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 9.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m; at NW: Wth 14.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.1m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. This may be the correct location of possible rath (RO028-036----), c. 100m to the SE.
