The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in rough pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 38.5m) defined by a scarp best preserved at S. From W through N to E the enclosing element is obscured by scrub. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at SW may be original. Lazy-beds are visible in SE quadrant of the interior. Field walls extend from the monument at E and W.
