The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N facing slope in flat to undulating pasture. Comprises a circular area (int. diam. 22m) enclosed by a bank (Wth 4m, H 0.30m). There may be the remains of an outer bank as well but it is too indistinct to be certain. There is no indication of a ditch. A gap in the S part of the inner bank may be an entrance (Wth 3.50m). In an aerial photograph (OS 1. 3310-1) the rath appears to be surrounded by field boundaries (SL020-052002-) but these are not visible on the ground.
