The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. A raised roughly oval area (25m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.6m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2-4m; D 0.15-0.4m). The latter is not visible from WSW-SW-W where it is bordered by a modern NW-SE field boundary. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field bank and trench. The larger portion, to the SE, has been almost totally levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
