In improved pasture, located at the summit of a NW–SE ridge, with excellent views in all directions, especially extensive to S–SW, and overlooking Clooturnaun Lough c. 400m to NW.
This rath, named ‘Lisheennafreaghoge’ on the 1838 and 1917 OS 6-inch maps, was levelled during land reclamation. The slightly raised outline of a circular area (24.6m E–W; 21.7m N–S) can still be traced at ground level, defined by a broad sloping undulation representing a levelled bank/scarp. The scarp survives best at W−NW where a single hawthorn bush grows. Surface undulations at SW and N provide ephemeral evidence of a possible fosse and outer bank. The entrance appears most likely to have been at E, where the enclosing undulation is lowest.
Other raths (MA092-045----; MA092-047----; MA092-051) are located 150m to SW, 300m to NNE and 280m to ENE, respectively.
