The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating pastureland. This very poorly preserved and heavily overgrown oval rath (25m N-S; 14m E-W) is defined by a bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.7m) from ESE through S to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Trees and shrubs are piled against the monument from SE through W to NW.
