The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the E-facing slope of a hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 38.7m NE-SW; 37.2m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes (Wth 6-6.7m; int. H 0.9-1.45m; ext. H 2.55-3.05m) separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 7.6-7.8m; Wth of base 1.8-2m; ext. D 1.5-1.6m) from an outer bank (Wth 1-3m; ext. H 0.2m). The entrance (Wth 2.4m) and causeway (Wth 4m) are at E, but there is a modern entrance at SSE, while the fosse is partly backfilled and the outer bank is missing SE-W (max. ext. diam. 57m NW-SE). Rath (RO042-086----) is c. 90m to the N.
