The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (MA071-017----). A shallow depression (Wth 2.6–3m; D 0.45m) is evident in the W half of an E-W rise which extends across the centre of the rath interior. The depression extends from close to the rath scarp at the W into the interior for 13.5m to E and then turns to S for 5m where it becomes slightly narrower and shallower (Wth 2.4m; D 0.3m). Stones protrude randomly from the sides, and the base is moderately strewn with loose stones. The roots of hazel trees have infiltrated the depression.
