The interior is defined by low sod-covered stone footings (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) W-E and by a linear field wall at S. A possible entrance (Wth 2m) is at ENE. There are no visible remains of this possible rath on the S side of the field boundary. There is a rectangular stone-built structure on the S side of the field boundary at the E end.
