In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A circular area (29.2m E-W; 28.6m N-S) defined by a denuded earthen bank W-E and by a scarp (H 0.35m) E-W. There is a cattle gap through the bank at N. The level interior is slightly higher than the external ground level. This is one of three raths (see KE058-005----, KE058-117----) mentioned in the 1840s as being in Lisheennacannina (OSNB, Molahiffe, no. 1, 24). One of these was called 'Lissacannina' and was described as 'remarkably large' and 'nearly defaced' and had a 'cavern' in it (OSNB, Molahiffe, no. 1, 42). The other two raths were 'not known by any particular name' (OSNB, Molahiffe, no. 1, 24).
