The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland, a N flowing stream is visible to the W. This very poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) is defined by scarp (max. H 1.1m). Two other raths (GA100-090---- and GA100-091----) lie c. 200m to the N and c. 300m to the NE respectively.
