In level pastureland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. 48.8) defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The very substantial inner bank is visible all round. The fosse is wide, deep and flat bottomed. The outer bank is preserved from SSE through W to NE. Its E section has been defaced where a N-S running field wall and roadway clip it. A post and wire fences runs E-W just to its N and another runs N-S to its W. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SE. Numerous depressions and low grass-covered banks are visible in the interior. A possible souterrain (GA114-157001-) is associated (SMR file). Another rath (GA114-156----) lies c. 120m to the NNE.
This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 3/1983).
