The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a slight rise in undulating terrain. Ground falls away gently to N–NW. There is a farmstead c. 40m to E. This possible rath is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1922 edition as a circular, enclosure (diam. c. 20m). It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
