The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of the NE-facing slope of NNW-SSE ridge. Described as a circular area (diam. 43.5m N-S; 40.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank which is incorporated into a field bank NW-NE (Gannon 1972). It is now visible as a circular grass-covered area (diam. 47m NE-SW; 47m NW-SE) defined by a broad rise or a slight scarp. Rath site (RO042-071001-) is immediately to the NE, rath (RO042-070----) is c. 70m to the NW, and rath (RO042-101----) is c. 160m to the SE.
