The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in grassland. When inspected in June 1984 this very poorly preserved subcircular rath (36m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) was defined by a bank. A road cut across it from NW to SE. On re-inspection in October 2012 the bank was only visible to the NE of the road; to the SW it had been recently ploughed out.
