The National Monuments Service's description
On a level terrace at the N end of a field that slopes gently to E. A flat platform (diam. c. 9m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1m; int. D 0.2m; ext. D 0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m). The bank consists largely of stone, and the fosse is wet in places. The area, known locally as a 'rath', is left rough and untouched due to local superstition.
