The National Monuments Service's description
A short distance off the highest point of a prominent NW-SE ridge in otherwise low-lying pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was at NNE. The rath has since been levelled and only the outline of its perimeter is identifiable.
