The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 32m) defined by an earthen bank from NE through E to SW and an external fosse from E to SSE. A field wall cuts through the monument at SW and NW and no visible surface trace survives of the enclosing elements to W of it.
