The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock in undulating grassland. This subcircular rath (41m E-W; 36m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a bank from S through W to N and by a scarp from N through E to S. Some hawthorn trees are growing on the bank. The fosse survives from S through W to N. A possible souterrain (GA107-068001-) is associated.
