The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (48.5m E-W; 45m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible from E through S to W; elsewhere a low scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SE through S to W. A gap (Wth 3m) at NNE appears to be modern. Another rath (GA100-065----) lies c. 95m to the NE.
