The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, located on a low rise. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1919 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) incorporated at SW–N into later field boundaries, with the townland boundary coinciding with the NW arc. It has been levelled and there is no visible trace at ground level.
