The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in an area pastureland and tillage. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 40m) is defined by a bank and external fosse from S through W to N. The bank is overgrown with trees and shrubs. There are a number of cow gaps in the bank. A field wall cuts across the monument at N and S. The field immediately to its E had been ploughed when inspected.
