The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a S-facing slope in rolling pasture on the site of a levelled rath (LI013-109----) and visible intermittently as an E-W orientated bank (L 76.9m; Wth. 1m, H 0.15-0.2m) stretching across the field to an area of marsh. On the site of the rath the W end of the bank is visible as a rectangular concentration of stones (Wth. c. 1m; L 11m) with kerbing to the S. It terminates at a boulder in an area of scrub at its E end.
