In gently undulating coastal pasture, encompassing a low elevation, with excellent views in all directions. Though low the elevation is clearly visible as a high point in the surrounding level terrain. It is intersected by the townland boundary.
This possible rath is not indicated on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It is evident as a slightly domed oval area (c. 30m E-W; c. 40-45m N-S) with gently sloping, broadly slumped sides (H 1.1.5m; Wth of slope 7-8m). The outline can be clearly traced S−E, but the SE arc is poorly defined. A field wall/townland boundary bisects the interior centrally on a N-S axis, and a perpendicular field wall bisecting the E half. Remnants of a levelled E−W field fence abut the NW arc. There is a local tradition of a 'fort' at this location.
