The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. This possible rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1894-5 OS 6-inch map. The remains consist of an arc (C c. 15m) of an earthen bank (Wth 0.95m; H 0.55m) WSW-NNW which is respected externally by a modern wall. A recently constructed earthen bank and wall occupy the original SE portion of the possible rath. The interior is level.
