In pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Laune River. An arc (C 54m E-W) of a low earthen bank (Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.65m) E-W abuts the S side of a farm road and appears to be the S half of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Mature trees, planted c. 5m out from the base of the bank, respect it. The trees are in turn skirted by a fence E-SE and SW-W and by a high wall SE-SW. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. This is the rath which was recorded in the 1840s as being situated 'five chains' to the S of Pallis Castle (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 2, 19). Pallis Castle (KE065-019----) is c. 70m to the N.
