The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the E end of the crest of a broad E-W ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 39m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.5-5m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) WNW-E and by a low scarp (H 0.1m) E-SW. The perimeter is slightly truncated by a N-S field bank and drain at W, and the interior was overlain by an E-W field bank N of the centre which has been largely removed. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Rath (RO028-026----) is c. 170m to the W.
