In pasture, on the break of a W-facing slope. A circular area (31m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (ext. H 1.5m) which has a gentle inward slope. The bank, which is planted with coniferous trees, is slightly damaged in places by cattle. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at S. A depression, covered by overgrowth, along the SE arc may be the remains of a shallow fosse. The interior is concave. There is a possible souterrain (KE058-099001-) and a possible hut site (KE058-099002-) in the NW quadrant. This is probably the rath mentioned in the 1840s as being a 'little N.W. of Ballynamaanagh House' (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 5).
