In pasture, on an E-W ridge with views S over the valley of the Laune River to Magillycuddy's Reeks and N over an undulating countryside. A circular raised area (36m N-S; 35m E-W) is enclosed an earthen bank (Wth 7.4m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 3m) largely overgrown by briars and gorse, and by an external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.4m) NW-SE and by intermittent traces of the fosse SE-SW. The enclosing bank is best preserved NE-SE and is lowest along the N arc. There are cattle breaks in the bank at NW, NE and SW. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) at SE. The interior, slightly uneven, is in pasture and is partially obscured by gorse and briars along the inner side of the enclosing bank. Field boundaries abut the rath at W and SW. Another rath (KE057-056----) lies c. 120m to the W.
