The National Monuments Service's description
In level open pastureland to the N of Redmond Hill. This oval rath (66m E-W; 46m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a degraded earthen bank and an external fosse; the latter survives from WNW to NNW and from ENE to S. A number of disused quarry pits are visible along its course. Numerous gaps in the bank appear to be modern. A field boundary curves around the monument from NE to SE.
