The National Monuments Service's description
In flat pastureland. This possible rath (diam. 34m), which is poorly preserved, is circular in plan; a NNE-SSW field boundary cuts across it at N and SSE. It is defined by a low scarp to the W of the field boundary, however, only very slight traces of it are evident to the E.
