The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in pastureland. This subcircular rath (41m N-S; 38.5m E-W), heavily overgrown with trees, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A causewayed gap (Wth 4m) at S may be original. Traces of stone-facing are visible on the inner bank at S, and at NNW on the outer bank. A field wall surrounds the monument. A possible souterrain (GA116-109001-) is associated.
