The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. The outline of a levelled subcircular enclosure (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 33m NE-SW) is visible on aerial imagery dating from 1995 (Geohive MapGenie Imagery). A later field wall cuts across it from NNW to ESE. Possibly a rath as a number survive in this locality, see GA029-041---- which lies c. 20m to the SW.
