The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture towards the S end of a short N-S ridge. These are conjoined raths, both possibly bivallate, with abutting inner banks. The N rath is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims. 29m NE-SW; 24.5m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (at NW: Wth 2.3m; H 1.7-1.8m), with an outer earth and stone bank (at NW: Wth 1.8m; H 0.9m) SW-NE which also encloses the W part of the S rath and may be incorporated into a field bank NE-S. The entrance (Wth 4.2m) at NE is probably modern. The S rath (WA024-031001-) is attached to the SW.
