The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle ENE-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. A report in 1986 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by the remains of a wide, low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath is no longer visible at ground level.
