The National Monuments Service's description
In wet, low-lying pasture, c. 35m to the S of a rath (LF014-082----). A raised circular area (diam. at base 8.1m) enclosed from SE-S-W by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.1-0.25m) and defined elsewhere by a scarp (H 0.7m). There is no trace of an encircling fosse or bank. A depression (Wth 1.45m) in the scarp at NNW may mark the original entrance.
