The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. A slight S-facing slope breaks under the S edge of the site. Raised roughly circular area (dims. 22m E-W; 20m N-S) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.9m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NW-NE the scarp has been levelled and an E-W orientated lane abuts the original N limit of the rath. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is raised on the S side to compensate for the underlying natural slope.
