This possible rath is indicated on the 1836 OS 6-inch map as an oval ringfort-sized enclosure (max. dim. c. 20m N-S), annotated as ‘Fort’. It is shown enclosed within a larger D-shaped enclosure, defined by a bank or wall which curves around the possible rath on the S, W and N, with a road forming the straight side at E. There is no trace visible of this 'Fort' now. It was situated in low level pasture land to the N of the River Finn.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
