The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 25.7m) defined by a bank best preserved at E. A field wall cuts through the monument at NNW and NNE and, apart from a slight mound, no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the N of it. Another rath (GA097-126----) lies c. 80m to the ENE.
