The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope, in gently undulating upland pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a broad bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m) of earth and stone. There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank is very slight SSE-WSW. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank and a ramp to the exterior at NW mark the position of the original entrance. There are two modern breaks (both Wth 2m) in the bank at NNE and at SSE immediately to the E of a modern N-S orientated field boundary that crosses the E side of the rath.
