The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland overlooking extensive bogland to the W and N. Subcircular rath (37m E-W; 34m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible except from S to SW where a scarp forms enclosing element. The fosse survives from NNE through S to W; elsewhere a vegetation band indicates its line. Numerous gaps in the bank appear to be modern.
