The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in low-lying pastureland. This circular rath (diam. c. 35m), in fair condition, is defined
by a tree-lined bank. From ENE to ESE some field-clearance material has been dumped against it outer face. No visible trace of the fosse is evident. There is a causewayed entrance gap at ENE. An L-shaped depression in the SSW sector of the interior may mark the site of a souterrain (GA106-150----).
