The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed grassland. Subcircular rath (36m E-W; 31m N-S), in fair condition, defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. There is a well-defined stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 1.5m) at E. From NW through N to NNE a field boundary overlies the outer bank. Within N half of the interior an internal division is indicated by two grass-covered stone walls. A field boundary radiating from the monument at W adjoins another rath (GA128-030----) c. 25m to SW.
