The National Monuments Service's description
Raised circular area (diam. 30.6m) defined by a low scarp (H 1.8m at SE). The perimeter and a large portion of the rath itself have been removed at WNW−ESE as a consequence of the construction of outbuildings and a laneway. The grassed-over remains of a possible souterrain (MA079-065001-) are visible in the NW quadrant of the interior.
