The National Monuments Service's description
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved oval rath (35.5m WSW-ENE) defined by a bank from ESE
through W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from SW to NW and another cuts across the monument at NW and NE. There is a souterrain (GA105-099001-) in the W sector of the interior.
