The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in pasture. Two co-joined raths. The bank of the southern rath links to the bank of the N rath (SL005-080001-) at SSE and at SSW. The southernmost rath is very degraded and difficult to trace on the ground and consists of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c.20m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (H 0.2m). The scarped edge encloses the site NE-NW. From NW-NE, the edge of the rath is defined by the bank is shares with the N rath. A modern field boundary skirts the external base of the scarped edge at SW. The interior of the S rath is 1m higher that that of the N rath. The original entrance to either rath is not recognisable.
