Situated near the summit of Mullaghash. Ring-barrow (overall diam. 27m) consisting of a circular, level area (diam. 8m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 4m; 0.4m below interior, 0.8m below bank) and outer bank (Wth 5.5m, H 0.6m externally). The outer bank is truncated on the S by modern land reclamation, giving a D-shaped plan. Referred to as a 'small rath' by Stubbs (CLAJ 1910, 286).
