The National Monuments Service's description
On E-facing slope of a low hill. A subcircular rath (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW), in fair condition, defined by an earthen bank. A gap (Wth 1.5m) is visible at N. The interior, which is raised well above the surrounding field level, is densely overgrown. A field wall cuts through the monument at NW and SE.
