The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a hillock. A circular area (28m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by a low flattened earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.1m) mainly evident SE-N. Slight traces of a shallow intervening fosse and a low outer bank are evident along the S arc. The interior is level. The rath is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2119-20) with a possible linear field wall (KE066-107----) radiating from the NW arc.
