The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the River Laune. A circular area (diam. c. 36m) defined by a low rise. This rath is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m). According to local information, this was a bivallate rath with two substantial banks and a deep intervening fosse and it was levelled in the 1970s.
