The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise on a W-facing slope. This rath has been largely levelled. Extant remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. c. 50m) enclosed from E-SE-S by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; max. H 0.2m). Elsewhere the delimiting element is a poorly defined, low scarp. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
