The National Monuments Service's description
On a NW-facing slope in pastureland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 25m) is defined by a low wide earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.6m). A field wall cuts through it at NW and SE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the E of it due to land-improvement works. A possible souterrain (GA114-095001-) is associated.
