The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Laune River. A circular area (43m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by three earthen banks with intervening fosses and an outer fosse. The inner earthen bank (Wth 7.25m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.55m) and intervening fosse (Wth 4.5m) are visible all round. The middle earthen bank (Wth 10.9m; int. H 2.15m; ext. H 1.6m) is separated by a second intervening fosse (Wth 2.9m) from the outer earthen bank (Wth 7.3m; int. H 2.2m; ext. H 2.1m). The outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) is visible SW-N. The interior slopes gently down to the SE. The rath is cut (D 2m) into the upslope at NW. There is a partially eroded causeway entrance (Wth 3.5m) at NNE. The entire rath is largely obscured by trees, bushes and dense undergrowth. A limekiln is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map abutting the enclosing elements at WSW.
