The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland on a low hill named 'Knockadoon' on the OS 6-inch maps. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (23m N-S; 20m E-W) is defined by a scarp and external fosse; the latter is being used as a trackway from NE to S. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at SE may be original.
