The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, with a gently fall of ground to N. When inspected in 1957, this rath, shown on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as an embanked subcircular enclosure, consisted of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.5-2m; int. H 0.5-1m; ext. H 1-1.5m, 1.8m at E). Inspected again in the 1990’s, it was found to have been leveled to a featureless, flat area, with slight remnants of a leveled bank discernible at W (Morahan, 1996, 44).
