The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (41m NE-SW; 37m NW-SE) defined by a
tree-lined bank and traces of an external fosse. A field bank cuts through the monument at NE and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives to the E of it. A band of vegetation indicates the line of the fosse from S to W and at NE.
