The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of a broad hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 58m N-S; c. 55m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 2-4m) that is absent WSW-WNW and ESE-S is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during 2018. The souterrain (ME018-021---) can be seen as a cropmark extending W from inside the fosse at E to the centre. The rath was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
