The National Monuments Service's description
On a NW-facing slope in pastureland, to the NE of a stream. This heavily overgrown circular rath (diam. c. 30m) is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved in the N half. The fosse is deep and wide and the outer bank is well preserved except at SW where some erosion has occurred. A souterrain (GA114-119001-) is associated.
