The National Monuments Service's description
On a level landscape on the NW shore of Loughaneally lough (dims c. 530m NW-SE; c. 270m NE-SW), which is marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Loughaneally was probably a turlough and is now reclaimed. Relict field boundaries (Wth 4m; H 0.3m) approach the rath (RO044-070001-) from the S at E (L c. 120m), SW (L c. 100m) and WNW (L c. 130m), although they do not reach the fosse of the rath. The rectangular enclosure (RO044-071002-) is c. 20m S of the rath and its perimeter at N cuts the field bank approaching the rath from the SW.
