The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in level grassland. Marked on the 1838 and 1945 editions of the OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m). A NW-SE running field wall clipped it at S. No visible surface trace survives. However, its faint outline is visible on the OSi digitalglobe AP. Possibly a rath.
