The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating wet pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a low bank of earth (Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.30m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 5.1m; D 0.2m). The bank encloses the site E-NW. From NW-E the bank is absent and the edge of the rath is defined by a scarp. The position of the original entrance is marked by a slight ramp (Wth 2m) across the scarped edge at NE.
