Inside the perimeter of rath (RO040-034001-) at N. Two flat-topped limestone boulders set side by side (dims 1.35m x 0.6m; H 0.6m) are within an oval enclosure (dims 9.5m NE-SW; 6.6m NW-SE) defined by large slabs (dims c. 0.6m x 0.2m; H 1.2m) set on end. A masonry pier (dims 1.35m x 0.95m; H 2m) containing a niche with a statue and a stoup, and a modern latin cross, are within the enclosure.
