The National Monuments Service's description
In average pasture, located in an area of gently undulating grassland.
This partly levelled rath survives as a roughly circular area (29.7m E-W; c. 33m N–S) defined on the S half by remnants of a bank/scarp, removed at W–N, and discernible at NE–E only as a slight rise or undulation. An E−W field fence cuts across the centre of the rath. Hawthorn bushes defines the bank on the S half . A bungalow is located to NW, and part of the NW quadrant of the rath falls within the garden/backyard area of the residential plot. Another rath (MA062-110----) is located 80m to NE.
