The National Monuments Service's description
When inspected in 1974 a slight earth and stone bank was noticed extending to the W of the causewayed entrance gap of the rath (GA105-073----). It extended roughly 11m to the WNW and was possibly associated with an earlier field system (SMR file). This feature was not noted when the rath was visited in 1982.
