The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 37m) defined by a bank and external fosse; only slight shallow traces of the latter are visible. The bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) is overgrown with trees and is breached by a number of gaps. A field wall has been built against its outer face from NE through S to NW. The interior is level but had been cleared.
