The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, towards the top of a low hill. An arc (C c. 25m) of an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.25m) SW-ENE abuts the N side of a linear NE-SW field boundary. The bank is evident only as a low rise SW-NW. There is a cattle gap through the bank at N. Some tree and bushes grow along the bank. The interior slopes gently down to the SE. There is no visible surface trace of the bank to the S of the field boundary. The possible rath is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a hachured arc NW-ENE with its ENE terminal abutting the linear NE-SW field boundary.
