The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, on slight E-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Raised oval area (dims. c. 36m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.4m) with a fosse (Wth 4m) and an external bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.6m). Original entrance is not recognisable. There are small breaks through the bank at N, SE, SSE and W caused by animal traffic. Dense overgrowth obscures most the rath.
