In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (c. 30m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.35m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1m) which is incorporated into the field boundary system along the S arc. The bank is breached at E, SE, SW and WSW. The interior, which is level, appears to be raised on the W side to compensate for the hillslope. An E-W trackway extends from the breach in the bank in the SE arc to the breach at SW. A N-S lane tangentially abuts and cuts into the bank along the W arc, externally. This rath was recorded in the 1840s as being 'in the West end' of Knockacullig South (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 23).
