The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on N–S elevation, providing good views, especially to E and S, of the surrounding gently undulating terrain. This rath is shown on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as an oval embanked enclosure (c. 25m NW–SE; c. 20m NE–SW). It has been levelled. The outline can still be traced as a low circular undulation (c. 20m NNW–SSE; c. 18m ENE–WSW), clipped on the NW side by a property boundary on a NNE–SSW axis.
