The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 42m) defined by a very low irregular scarp (H 0.2m). There is no trace of a fosse. The rath is divided into roughly equal portions by a NNW-SSE field wall. The portion to the ENE of this has been levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
