The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. c. 35m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Rubble is piled along the inner face of the outer bank from N to NE and from NE to ENE it is overlain by a much-collapsed field wall. A causewayed gap (Wth 3.5m) at ESE may be original. There is a souterrain (GA122-079001-) in the N sector of the interior.
