In average pasture, located on a slight N–facing slope. Views to NE are good, including part of Killala Bay. There is a factory complex 60m to S.
This possible rath is not shown on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps; it was first recorded in an aerial photograph (OS 5 6882-3, Roll 217, pr. 10).
Roughly D-shaped raised area (c. 20-23m N–S; c. 16m E–W to field fence) defined in an irregular arc NNW-S by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.1m, at NE), and on the straight side at W by a field fence. The bank is best defined at NNW-NE but at E–SE it is very low and degraded. A band of irises immediately outside the bank at N–NE may indicate an infilled fosse.
At the time of visit, the perimeter and part of the interior at S and W were engulfed in brambles, making inspection difficult.
