The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a rise. The remains of a circular area defined by an arc (C 26m) of bank N-SE. The bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2.3m) is covered in overgrowth. There is a slight trace of a levelled bank, in the form of a low rise, SE-S. The rath is indicated on the 1846 and 1895 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m).
