The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, situated on the NW side of the top of a steep-sided NW-SE ridge. Raised circular platform (diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (ext. H 3.4m). At the base of the mound is a fosse (Wth 3.2m) with an external bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m). The interior of the rath is densely overgrown with scrub rendering inspection impossible.
