The National Monuments Service's description
On W-facing slope of a hillock in pastureland. Subcircular rath (42m N-S; 37m E-W), in fair condition, defined by two banks and two fosses. The inner bank and inner fosse are visible all round. The outer bank survives from SE through S to NW and is overlain by a later field bank at S. The outer fosse survives from SE through S to SW; elsewhere a darker band of vegetation indicates its outline.
