This once substantial rath has a circular central area with a perimeter bank, surrounded by a wide ditch, and there are remains of an outer bank and ditch.
A gap to the north probably marks the entrance. This rath, with its mature trees, for a long time formed an attractive ‘island’ in farmland, but it is now surrounded by housing.
