The National Monuments Service's description
At the SW end of a low NE-SW drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 34.5m E-W; 31.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1.2-1.3m) SSW-WSW and a scarp (H 1.25m at S to 1.65m at E) elsewhere. This is separated by a fosse (Wth of base 2.2-3.5m; D 0.1-0.3m) SW-NNW from an outer earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.4-0.5m) SW-WNW. There is no visible entrance, and the fosse is continued by a berm (Wth 2-3m) S-SW. Rath (RO011-108002-) is c. 50m to the NE, and rath (RO011-109----) is c. 130m to the NE.
