Named ‘Rathnaguppan’ on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps, this rath consists of a raised circular area (25.2m NE–SW; c. 25m NW–SE) defined by a bank (W 5-5.5m; int. H 0.4-0.45m; ext. H 1.7m) of gravelly earth. A few stones protrude randomly from the inner face of the bank, possibly remnants of a kerb or facing. The interior is level and featureless. A gap (Wth 3m) in the bank at SSE may indicate the original entrance. The perimeter id ringed with hazel, blackthorn and hawthorn. There is another rath (MA038-083----) c. 90m to SSW, and a standing stone (MA038-150----) 80m to W.
