The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE-facing slope of a hill in low-lying pastureland. This circular rath (diam. c. 40m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is extant from N through S to WNW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from SE through S to WSW while the outer bank only survives from SE to S.
