The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) enclosed from E-ESE-SE by a poorly preserved, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.3m) and defined from NW-N-E by a low scarp (H 0.3m). From SE-W-NW the perimeter of the rath has been substantially modified and incorporated into linear field boundaries. Traces of a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) are evident at SE. The original entrance is not recognisable.
