The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE edge of a low E-W ridge in rough pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 19m N-S) enclosed by a scarp (H 0.6m at N, 1.2m at S), topped at SE with fragmentary remains of a bank (Wth 1.5m; int. H 0.2m). At NE an arc of widely spaced stones appears to be remnants of a kerb marking the original inner edge of the now levelled bank. The rath is bisected to E of centre by a N-S field wall.
