The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillslope to W of Ballycorban House. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (43m N-S; 40m NE-SW) defined by a scarp from NE through S to SW. A field boundary cuts the monument at SW and NE; no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to NW of it. A souterrain (GA125-013001-) is associated.
