The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle WSW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was at W. At the centre of the interior was a low, irregularly shaped mound (max. H 1.25m). The rath is no longer visible at ground level.
