In pasture, on a N-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 35m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) which is covered with overgrowth in places. The flat interior has been raised in the N sector to compensate for the hillslope. There is a possible entrance at E and there is a gap at NNE. A ledge (Wth 6m), which is semicircular in plan and abuts the bank along the N arc externally, is built up (H 2m) above the external ground level. The ledge has a slight dip but is otherwise relatively flat. An E-W field boundary is immediately N of the ledge. On the 1894 OS 6-inch map the rath is shown as open at E. This is probably the rath recorded in the 1840s in the centre of Knockasarnet (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 1, 37). A possible fulacht fia (KE058-137----) is c. 85m to the NW.
