In pasture at the W end of a low NE-SW ridge. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1916) editions of the OS 6-inch maps. A circular bivallate rath (int. diams. 24.3m E-W; 22.8m N-S; ext. diam. 43m) is defined by a broad inner earthen bank, a fosse and a second, outer bank. The inner bank (Wth 6-7m; int. H 0.9-1.3m; ext. H 1.6-2m) has internal stone facing traceable intermittently from E-S-NW. The fosse (Wth at top 5.6-6m; Wth at base 1-2m; ext. D 1m) is round-bottomed and is girdled by the outer bank (Wth c. 2m; H 0.5m) which is best preserved at NW and surmounted for nearly its full course, from N-E-S-W, by a later drystone wall. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2m) at ENE. ‘Kilranaghan’ enclosure (CL017-104002-), containing a burial ground (CL017-104----) lies c. 100m to the E.
