The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of level ground on a NE-facing slope. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone with external fosses. The original entrance was probably at SSE. The rath has since been levelled but its outline is clearly visible on aerial photographs (see attachment).
