The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope in grassland. This almost circular rath (26.5m E-W; 25m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a earth and stone bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) from NW through N to E and elsewhere by a scarp. The enclosing element is planted with trees. There is a stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 3.1) at E.
