The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-S ridge, located 12m to S of a rath (SL011-022001-). Substantial bank (L 40m E-W; Wth 3.5m; H 0.4m) of earth and stone. From its SE end, where it is truncated by a modern field wall, it curves to NW along the level summit of the ridge and then continues down slope, stopping c. 15m short of the E bank of the Easky River. The form of bank suggests that it is associated with the nearby rath.
