The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 32m) defined by a
scarp and external fosse; no visible surface trace of the latter survives from SE through S to SW. Field banks abut the enclosing elements at N and E. Quarrying has encroached upon the W half of the monument.
