The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight W-E spur towards the bottom of an E-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 52m ENE-WSW; 51m NNW-SSE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5.8-7.1m; int. H 0.4-0.55m; ext. H 0.6-1.05m) which is slightly truncated by a NW-SE field wall and townland boundary with Lisdaulan at NE. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth 4m) is at ESE. Two relict field banks (RO042-079002-) which extended from the perimter at W in 1977 (SMR file) no longer survive. Rath (RO042-080----) is c. 200m to the E.
