Internal diam. 18m NW-SE This rather disturbed univallate rath is located on the lower NW side of a W spur of Killonecaha mountain, overlooking St Finan's Bay to W. A drystone wall overlies the enclosing earthen bank along the NE sector, and the remainder of its circumference is largely obscured by a dense growth of vegetation. There is much loose stone scattered along the flanks of the bank, which may have been drystone-faced. The bank is on average .5m high externally, and is 1.5m wide. A blocked opening to a Man-made underground passage (KE097-001001-) is located at its external base at NW. Much clearance material has been dumped in the uneven and overgrown interior of the site.
