The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of the NE-facing slope of a broad E-W ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 31.2m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (Wth 2.5-4.3m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 0.5m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8-1.1m) N-E. The bank is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4-5m; Wth of base 2.5-3.4m; D 0.3-0.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 3.7-5.8m; H 0.2m at S to 1.1m at N) which has been quarried away at SE. Both banks are overgrown W-NNE and the original entrance is not identified. Rath (RO023-005----) is c. 160m to the W, and rath (RO023-007----) is c. 50m to the SE.
