The National Monuments Service's description
Situated within a rath (SL011-007001-). An almost square, raised stone platform (13.4m NNW-SSE; 13m ENE-WSW; max H 0.3m) occupies most of the S half of the interior of the rath. Its NNW and SSE sides are defined by the remains of low banks of earth and stone. Elsewhere the defining element is degraded scarp (H 0.2m - 0.6m). The significance of this feature is unknown but it may mark the remains of a house.
