The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland, in the SE corner of a field that is truncated to the E and S by field boundaries. Only the NW quadrant of this possible rath (estimated dims. c. 46m ENE-WSW; 34m NNW-SSE) is visible. It is defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.45) which curves from W to N (C 26m) and is obscured by vegetation. The interior slopes gently towards the SSE. There is a souterrain (GA103-178----) in the area of the SW quadrant.
