The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in low-lying undulating pastureland. This fairly well-preserved subcircular rath (29.7m E-W; 27m N-S) is defined by a bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.95m) and fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 0.4m). The bank is best preserved from N through E to S, the W half is more denuded. Cultivation ridges/drainage cuts, running N-S, cross it. This monument was brought to our attention by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
