The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Subcircular rath (25.8m WSW-ENE), in fair condition, defined by a bank from WSW through N to S; no visible surface trace survives from S to WSW. A field boundary cuts across the monument at NW and SE and a roadway runs through it from WSW to ENE. (McCaffrey 1952, 199, no. 5)
