The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 10.8m; int. H 0.15m). No fosse visible. The bank encloses the site SE-NNE. From NNE-SE the bank is absent and the edge of the rath is defined by an earthen scarp. Original entrance not recognisable. A N-S orientated drystone wall crosses the W side of the interior intersecting with the bank of the rath at NW and at SW.
