The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. This possible rath (diam. c. 65m) is defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.9m; H 0.6m), which has been destroyed from NNE–E–SSE due to the construction of modern field boundaries. At the external base of the bank is a wide, waterlogged depression (Wth 5.3-8m; D 0.3-0.75m). The interior is occupied by a motte (LF023-059----).
