The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a rise. This possible rath is shown on 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m). It has been levelled. The S arc can still be traced as a slight, levelled scarp. There is a cashel (MA050-002001-) 70m to E.
