The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (43m WNW-ESE; 36.5m
NNE-SSW) defined by a bank from SSE to SW; a scarp forms the enclosing element from SW through W to NE. A field boundary cuts through the monument at NE and SSE and no visible
surface trace of the enclosing element survives to E of it. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at SW. Another rath (GA100-066----) lies c. 95m to the SW.
