The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised oval area (diam. c. 38m NE-SW; c. 29m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level.
