The National Monuments Service's description
On a NW-facing slope in dense blackthorn scrub with a rath (CL010-014002-) c. 20m to the NE. Indicated on the 1916 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and visible on aerial imagery (GSI M 348).
An overgrown oval enclosure (est. diams. c. 38m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) is defined by a collapsed stone spread which is visible at S and SSW (Wth 3-3.5m; H 0.7-1.2m). A later field wall is built along the edge of the site where it is free from overgrowth at NW.
