The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 33m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SSW through W to NE; elsewhere no visible surface trace survives. A road cuts across the monument from SW to E. Several breaches in the bank appear to be modern.
