The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a W-facing slope with views restricted by trees. An arc (C 30m) of a low earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-S abuts the E side of a linear NNW-SSE field and lane boundary. A shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) is evident N-S. Rushes grow in the interior. The circular rath, truncated by a linear lane at SW, is clearly visible as a shadow site on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, N 394-5). There is a fulacht fia (KE058-160001-) c. 40m to the E.
