The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Roughly circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed in parts at at W, N and E by fragmentary remains of a bank (Wth 4.4m; max. int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m, at W) and elsewhere by low undulations. An ENE-WSW field boundary/townland boundary cuts through the S third of the rath. Heaps of field clearance debris, and evidence for quarrying, within enclosed area.
