On the edge of a steep-sided natural terrace, on the E slope of Muckelty Hill. A circular area (28m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.6m) along the S, W and N arcs and by an almost vertical natural scarp (H c. 6m) along the E arc. The bank is stone-faced externally in parts. The interior slopes gently down to E. The rath is covered in ferns.
