The National Monuments Service's description
In level grassland. This poorly preserved D-shaped rath (41.3m N-S; 38.3m E-W), with a straight SW side, is defined by a collapsed bank of earth and stone, which is obscured by overgrowth from NW through E to S. Elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element.
