The National Monuments Service's description
In gently rolling pastureland. Circular rath (diam. 59.1m), in fair condition, defined by a stone-faced earthen bank and an external fosse. Cody (1989, 193-6, no. 46) noted the arc of a ‘very slight outer bank’ at NE. A souterrain (GA096-083001-) lies within the N half of the interior.
