The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a hillock with slightly higher ground c. 200m to the SE. This is a circular grass-covered area defined by two low scarps (int. diam. c. 40m; ext. diam. c. 60m) and probably represents the remains of a bivallate rath. There is a stone and a single thorn tree in the centre. Access to this monument was denied. It is visible on the OSI images (2005) and Bing images (c. 2013).
