In pasture, on a NW-facing slope. A circular area (c. 28m E-W) defined by a low rise W-E and by a scarp, which slopes inwards towards the concave interior, E-W. The low rise marking the line of the levelled bank is most noticeable along the NE arc where it is adjacent to a field boundary. According to the landowner, the field is known as 'the fort field'. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). This is probably the rath in the N side of Ballyhar which was mentioned in the 1840s (OSNB, Kilcredane, 12).
