The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low ridge in a gently undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 21m NNW-SSE; 18.15m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (at WSW: Wth 1m; H 0.5m). There is no visible fosse or entrance and the NW quadrant has been quarried, but it is probably a rath. Rath (ME014-010----) is immediately to the NE.
