The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 23m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.4-0.5m). There is no trace of a fosse. It is bordered by a deep drain, which also forms the townland boundary, from N-NE-ESE. The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub.
