The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 41.2m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse, which have been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from S-W-NW. Elsewhere the bank and fosse have been levelled but their outlines are still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. At S, immediately outside the rath, is a substantial quarry hole.
