On a N-facing slope in undulating marshy pasture abutted to the S by a boreen c. 50m N of the Ballydeely River. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (30.5m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by a round-topped earthen bank (Wth at base 1.85m; int. H 0.35-1m; ext. H 0.25-1m). The bank is overgrown from SSE to WNW along which it is surmounted by the boreen wall. The presence of an external fosse is suggested by a dense band of vegetation visible around the E half of the monument. Three gaps cut through the bank. A recent gap at the WNW, and older gaps at N (Wth 2.3m) and ESE (Wth 5.5m). The interior slopes gently down to the N and is covered in reeds. No internal features are visible.
