The National Monuments Service's description
On the W end of a ridge in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 30m) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp is visible from NW through E to SW and the fosse survives from NNE through E to S. The townland boundary wall cuts through the monument at SW and NW and no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives to the W of it. There is a causewayed gap (Wth 4.2m) at E. An enclosure (GA108-052----) lies c. 80m to the E.
