The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in hilly pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 47m) defined by a scarp which was heavily overgrown with bramble and bushes from N to SW. From SW to N the enclosing bank had been dug into in a number of places and was irregular in outline. Field walls cut the monument at N and E. The interior rose towards the centre.
