Situated on the summit of a ridge adjacent to the shore of the Finne Estuary in Ballysadare Bay. Raised D-shaped area (dims. 22.7m NE-SW; 9.8m NW-SE) atop a high, steep-sided mound of earth and stone. From NE-E-SSW this is defined by a severely eroded, linear cliff face. Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 3.4m - 3.6m) which has a low bank of earth and stone at its upper edge from SSW-SW-WSW. At the foot of the scarp and bank from SSW-SW-WSW and from NNW-N-NE is a very wide, steep-sided, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth. 11.5m - 12m; D 2m). Original entrance not recognisable. The evidence suggests that the extant remains represents the NW third of a small raised rath, the remainder of which has been eroded away.
