The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a broad NNW-SSE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 38.3m NW-SE; 38.1m NE-SW) defined by a slight but overgrown and poached earthen bank (at SW: Wth 4.9m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.5m) which is reduced to a scarp (at NE: H 1.1m) over most of the perimeter, with a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 3.2m; D 0.6m) which is largely back-filled. There is no identifiable original entrance. Rath (RO042-071002-) is c. 160m to the NW.
