The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (47m E-W; 43.5m N-S) defined by a
scarp. Traces of an external fosse, indicated by a band of vegetation, are visible from W through N to E. A field boundary cuts through the monument from E to W. To the S of it, the enclosing element is much more poorly defined.
