The National Monuments Service's description
On the SE-facing slope of a low ridge. Not marked on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This rath is defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 4.6m; D 0.6m) extending in an arc from SE-S-WSW. From SSW-SW-WSW the fosse is very wide (Wth 7m). Elsewhere the monument has been levelled due to the construction of modern field boundaries. The original entrance is not recognisable.
