The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy grassland. Circular rath (diam. 42m), in fair condition, defined by a bank, no visible
surface trace of which survives from SE to S or from SSW to SW. A gap at N could be original. A number of earthworks within the interior may be internal divisions. An old field bank radiates from the monument at N.
