The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SE through S to NW and by a gentle scarp from NE to SE. Slight traces of an external fosse are visible from SE to SW. From NW through N to NE no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives due to the construction of farm buildings.
