The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.30m) enclosed by an earth and stone scarp (ext. H 1.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The edge of the monument has a very irregular profile with modern dumps of rocks and earth around the circuit. The remains of a relic N-S orientated field boundary bank obscures the scarped edge at W. From SW-NW the scarped edge is obscured by infill of rock and earth between the boundary and the edge of the rath. The original entrance is not recognisable. A large irregular relic quarry hole (L N-S c.28m; Wth 2.8-6.5m; D 0.4-0.8m) traverses the interior to E of centre and through the scarped edge at NNE and at SSE.
