Indicated — Clooneen (tireragh By.)

In pasture, situated on level ground at W end of broad SW-NE orientated ridge. A steep N-S orientated W facing slope (H 2m) skirts the external edge of the rath at W. Ground level slopes gently, facing SE immediately to the S of the rath. The rath overlooks slightly lower level ground to the W. Raised roughly circular area (25m E-W; 24m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 7m; int. H 0.35m). A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at SE marks the position of the original entrance. A setting of eight small rubble boulders (av. dims 0.2-0.3m; av. H 0.2m) in an E-W orientated line lies on the NE side of the interior. The centre and SE side of the interior undulate irregularly with many low scarps possibly indicating internal divisions or structures. A modern L-shaped quarry (L E-W stretch 8m; L N-S stretch 6m; Wth top 2m; Wth base 0.5m; D 0.4m) abuts the inner face of the bank at W. Four hut sites (SL011-090002-; SL011-090003-; SL011-090004-; SL011-090005-) are located just outside the perimeter of the rath at E-S, and a fifth hut site (SL011-090006-) is located c. 15m to ESE within a field system (SL011-090007-) that borders the E side of the rath.
