A large broad, oval area (dims. 140m N-S; 120m E-W) around the top of the hill at Rathmichael is enclosed by a low, wide earth and stone bank with a narrow V-shaped fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.4m). The bank is defaced W-N-E being best preserved in the SW and S (Wth 3.3m; H 0.6m) where it joins a modern field boundary. It has an external stone facing made up of shattered stone fragments, which are strewn over the hilltop. A univallate ringfort (DU026-048002-) lies within the interior.
