The National Monuments Service's description
On the gentle E-facing slope of a small hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m N-S; 39m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1.2-1.4m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 0.4-1m), best preserved at S (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m). The bank survives SE-W-NW, but is reduced to a scarp (H 0.45-0.6m) ENE-SE and removed NE-ENE. There is a rounded fosse (Wth of base 1.8-2.2m; D 0.5-0.6m) SE-S and an entrance (Wth 2m) which is not original at SSW. Rath (RO036-061----) is c. 70m to the W.
