The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise on the floor of and at the head of a slight W-E valley. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 29m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by scarps (H 1.3m at W to 2.6m at S), with some stones on the scarp at S. There is no visible bank, fosse or entrance, but the perimeter has been removed by grass-covered quarries E-S. A fosse or natural depression (Wth of top 13.3m; Wth of base 5m; D at W 1.1m; D at E 1.3m) separates this site from rath (RO022-061001-) to the W.
