The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a slight rise. Ground rises gently to SW. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m). It has been levelled. A slight subcircular undulation (diam. 25-28m) is visible at ground level.
