The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (30m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by an
earthen bank with evidence of internal stone-facing at NE. No visible surface trace of the survives at NW. Numerous gaps in the bank appear to be modern. There is a souterrain (GA097-005001-) in the N sector of the interior.
