The National Monuments Service's description
Adjoining a rath (LF019-107001-) immediately to the SE. This raised subrectangular area (c. 32m NE–SW; c. 30m NW–SE) is enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.5m) that is slightly raised at each of its angles. Fragmentary traces of an infilled fosse (Wth 2m; max. D 0.2m) are visible at NW and NE. At SW this has been replaced by a field drain. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at E may mark the original entrance.
