The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in grassland. This poorly preserved rath is defined by the arc of an earthen bank curving from SE through S to SW; otherwise no visible surface trace survives. Within the interior is a children's burial ground (GA115-022001-) and a souterrain (GA115-022002-); part of the latter overlies the enclosing bank.
