The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW-facing slope of a hillock in tillage. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 24m) is defined by a bank (H 1.1m; Wth 2.5m) which is encircled by a field wall; at N the bank is incorporated into the field wall. On inspection the interior was totally overgrown and inaccessible.
