The National Monuments Service's description
On a low ridge in undulating pastureland. This circular rath (diam. c. 40m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible all round except for a gap at S into which a gate has been inserted. The fosse survives from NNE to E, from SSW to SW and from WSW to WNW. The outer bank is only evident at SE. A field wall cuts the monument at NNE and SSW. Another rath (GA106-121----) lies c. 65m to the E.
