The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a ridge. An almost circular rath (35m E-W; 34m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.4m) at ENE. According to local information, a possible souterrain (GA123-016001-) in the interior was blocked up about 20 years ago.
