The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in low-lying grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 32m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse from SW through N to NE. No visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives elsewhere due to the construction of farm buildings.
