The National Monuments Service's description
Located in an area of gently undulating average pasture.
This possibly rath is shown on the 1837 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), bisected slightly W of centre by a road on a N−S axis. It has been levelled. The enclosure has been levelled. The road survives as a farm track (Wth 3.5m), bordered by field walls. A slight but noticeable rise (L c. 30m NS) in the surface of the track indicates the marks the N−S limits of the enclosure, but no trace of the enclosure is visible in the fields flanking the track.
