Raised oval area (int. dims. c. 32m NNW-SSE; 30m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. Original entrance not recognisable. Davies (1948, 116) recorded that the rath is 'believed to be a church site' (CV023-030002-) while there is a local tradition that it marks the site of a children's burial ground (1740).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV023-030001
