The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a NE-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (diam.
c. 48m) defined by a bank from N to E and from SE to S. Elsewhere the enclosing element has been cleared away as a result of land clearance. A gap at E may be original.
