The National Monuments Service's description
On a ridge overlooking boggy ground and a small stream to N. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (35m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by a bank from N through E to SW; stone-facing is evident at S. Elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A souterrain (GA104-098001-) is associated (McCaffrey 1952, 223, no. 90).
