The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (64m E-W; 57m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from NW through E to SSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from N through E to
SE, and the outer bank from W through N to NE.
