The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 7.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2m) SSW-NW, by a low grass-covered rise (Wth 13m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.3m) NW-SE and by a scarp SE-SSW. The bank along the W arc has been incorporated into the field boundary system and is covered in overgrowth. Two other raths (KE057-015----, KE057-014----) are c. 80m and c. 150m to the W, respectively. A third rath (KE057-013----) lies c. 350m to the WSW.
