The National Monuments Service's description
In N-sloping pasture with excellent views. Originally circular area enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (int. H 0.4m - 0.6m; int. H 1m). There is no evidence for a fosse. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NW-SE field boundary. The larger portion, SW of this has been removed. The smaller portion (max. dim. 19m) is overgrown with scrub. Original entrance not recognisable.
