The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland. An almost circular rath (29.5m N-S; 28.5m E-W), in fair condition, defined by a bank best preserved at W. The line of an external fosse is indicated by a band of nettles and thistles. A stone-lined gap (Wth 3m) at NE appears to be original.
