The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised semi-circular area (dims. 24m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.3m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original earth and stone bank encloses the site NW-SE. From SE-SSW the edge of the rath has been quarried away. From SSW-NW the edge of the site has been removed also by quarrying an irregular bank of spoil has been dumped along the line of the bank of the rath. The original entrance is not recognisable.
