The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of undulating pastureland and tillage. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 38m) is defined by a scarp from NW through E to SSE. A N-S running field wall cuts it at NW and another running E-W cuts it at SSE. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the W and S of these walls where the field has been tilled. A souterrain (GA106-087001-) is associated.
