The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 24m) defined by a tree-covered bank best preserved from N through E to SE. A gap (Wth 3.2m) at SE may be original. A field wall cuts across the monument from SSE to SSW. The interior is used as a feeding station for cattle. A souterrain (GA122-087001-) is associated.
