In undulating grassland, immediately NE of the site of Glennamaddy Union Workhouse. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 39m) defined by a bank and external fosse from NW through N to ENE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field bank cuts the monument at SSE and SW. The interior is flat and featureless. On 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933), the words 'Burial Ground (Disused)' appear adjacent to this monument but this is more likely to have been associated with the workhouse than the ringfort. (Knight c. 1975, 112)
