The National Monuments Service's description
On a low ridge in grassland, to the S of a stream. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (25.5m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible from WSW through N to ENE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SSW through N to ENE. The monument has been quarried out in several places, especially at S. Cultivation ridges, running NE-SE, are visible immediately to its W.
