The National Monuments Service's description
In rough stony pasture, dotted with field clearance cairns. A rath (MA062-128----) is located 2m to NW.
Roughly circular, slightly raised area (8m N-S; 6.5m E-W) defined by a sod-covered stone bank or ‘wall’ (Wth 1.2-1.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3-0.4m). Immediately inside the stone bank at E is an oblong sunken feature (4m N-S; 1m E-W; D 0.35m-0.6m), partly infilled with stones, including one large slab. Obscured by brambles and ferns.
