The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 28m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance may have been at NE. The rath has since been levelled and its location is marked by a low, irregularly shaped mound of earth and stone (max. H 0.3m).
