The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight shelf of a SW-facing slope. Described as a subcircular area (dims 35m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by a slight earth and stone bank, with traces of an outer fosse S-W (Gannon 1972). There was an entrance and causeway at SSE. Rath (RO044-026001-) was immediately to the SE. It is not now visible at ground level in pasture.
