The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. An oval rath (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. There is an entrance gap at NNE. A field boundary runs beside the outer limits of the fosse from WSW to NW. A linear depression in the NW quadrant may mark the site of a souterrain (GA106-119001-).
