The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with an intervening fosse and a low outer bank. The original entrance was not recognisable. At the centre of the interior were the remains of a house (LF015-015001-). A short distance to its NE was another possible house (LF015-015002-). The rath has since been levelled and its location is marked by a very low, poorly defined rise.
