The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 28m E-W; 26m N-S) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 1.3m). A ramp (Wth 3.2m) across the scarp at NE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior of the site slopes gently facing NE. Extending into the interior from the scarp defining the rath at NW is a possible hut site (SL013-073002-).
