In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A raised D-shaped area (18m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.65m) along the straight SW side (L 40m) and abutted by an earthen bank NNW-NE and by scarp NE-SE. There is a possible entrance at ESE and a cattle gap at S. Conjoined hut sites (KE059-008001-; KE059-008002-) occur in the interior. This rath was recorded in the 1840s as having derived its name from a man called Darby Hayes who formerly lived 'at the foot of this Fort' (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 3, 28).
