On a rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 41m) defined by a slightly raised platform. According to local information, it was enclosed by two banks which were levelled some years ago: these are now indicated by lighter bands of vegetation, while a darker band between them probably indicates the line of a fosse. A boreen cuts the rath at ENE and SSE, to E of which a gorse-covered mound is all that survives of the monument. A ringfort (GA031-022----) lies c. 230m to SW.
