The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 24m) defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.6m) and the intervening fosse (Wth 3.8m) are evident all round. The narrow remains of a possible outer bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.9m) are visible NE-N. The interior is slightly raised at S to compensate for the hillslope. A slight depression in the SE quadrant is obscured by furze bushes. There is a causeway entrance at E. Three other raths (KE057-014----, KE057-015----, KE057-016----) are c. 150m, c. 200m and c. 350m to the ENE, respectively.
