The National Monuments Service's description

Located towards the S end of a small S-N spur that rises from a N-facing slope. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 30m E-W; 28m NNW-SSE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.5-5m; int. H 0.5-1m; ext. H 1-2m) and hedge with no visible fosse that only survives NW-E-SW but it has outer facing stones E-SSW. The original entrance is not identified. This rath is conjoined with rath (ME002-026----) which is immediately to the W but it is not possible to determine which monument is the earlier.
