The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the bottom of an E-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 34.3m NNE-SSW; 31.8m WNW-ESE) with some scrub defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2-4m; int. H c. 0.5m; ext. H c. 1m) and slight traces of an outer fosse (at WNW: Wth of top 3.8m; Wth of base 2.8m; D c. 0.1m), but the interior and perimeter are partly obscured by spoil. Entrance at ENE, SSW and NNW are probably modern. Rath (RO045-019----) is c. 200m to the N.
