Situated in low-lying level wet pasture 10m to the S of the E-W flowing Carney River. Another rath (SL008-061----) is visible c.400m to the NW. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a broad flat-topped bank of earth (Wth 6.4m; int. H 1m). At the external base of the bank is a silted up fosse (Wth 2.5m). The bank encloses the site SW-SSE and is best preserved W-NE where it is overgrown with dense gorse. From NE-SSE and SW-W the bank is very denuded and is absent SSE-SW where the circuit is defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.2m). The fosse encloses the site SE-NW only and is visible as a band (Wth 2.5m) of wetter ground around the site. A modern N-S orientated field drain lies along the line of the absent fosse ENE-SE and an E-W orientated modern field drain, now relic and largely silted up, lies along the outer edge of the fosse SSE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable.
