On a gentle SE-facing slope in low-lying pasture. During Edward Bruce's campaign of 1315-16, Felim King of Connaught rested in the dwelling-place of his uncle who was an O'Farrell of Annaly. Orpen (1968, vol. 4, 170) identifies this O'Farrell residence as being located in the townland of Keelognasause. Its possible that this rath is that residence. It consists of a raised circular area (diam. 24.9m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 1.2m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.7m), which has been largely infilled from WSW-W-NNW. A report in 1977 (SMR file) noted that the inner face of the bank may have been faced with drystone masonry at E and that the original entrance may have been at SE. These features are no longer identifiable.
