The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (39.7m WNW-ESE; 32m NNE-SSW) defined by a bank and external fosse. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at ESE may be original. A low rise (10m N-S; 7.3m E-W) is evident in the centre of the interior. A berm-like feature encircles the monument from ESE through W to N.
