The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the convergence of four field boundaries. This rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) with field boundaries radiating from the NE, E, W and NW arcs. It has been levelled and the remains consist of a roughly circular area (c. 26m N-S) defined by a low rise (H c. 0.6m).
