The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (34m N-S; 29.2m E-W), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive only from WNW to NW. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at E, from WSW to W, and from NW to NNW.
