The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a low NW-SE ridge, with a N-S stream c. 50m to the E. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 43m E-W; 39m N-S) with trees from a mature copse in the SE quadrant. The rath is defined by a scarp (H 0.3m at N to 2m at E). There is no visible fosse or entrance, but the souterrain (RO008-031002-) is inside the perimeter at W.
