The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rough pasture, at the foot of the N slopes of The Paps of Dana. An oval area (46m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.4m), partially obscured by overgrowth and topped with a stone wall, SW-SE and by a scarp (Wth 2.8m; H 1m) SE-SW. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at N. The interior is under pasture and slopes down to the S. Field boundaries abut the bank at N and SE. The bank of the rath forms the townland boundary N-SE.
