The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating boggy pastureland. This poorly preserved rath (diam. c. 35m) is defined by a circular platform (H 1.2m) which is slightly higher in the middle than at the perimeter. The interior is featureless but a children's burial ground (GA132-034----) is associated.
