The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pasture. According to local information this was the site of a ringfort, clearly visible until around 1995 when the building of houses caused the site to be levelled. It was apparently more visible than the ringfort (CL023-058----) c. 300m to the SW. Not visible at ground level and not visible on available aerial imagery.
