The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, situated on a low rise on top of an E-W ridge. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.35-0.6m; ext. H 1.6-1.7m) which appears to have had an internal stone kerb. The bank is low and partly levelled on the E half of the rath. A break in the bank (Wth 1.4m) at SW may represent the original entrance. A narrow line of stones, protruding from the sod, extends E-W across the S half of the interior. A field fence/townland boundary, on a N–S axis, bisects the E half of the rath.
