The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. On inspection in October 1982, apart from very slight traces of a bank on the E slope of a spur, no visible surface trace of this monument survived. Its depiction on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map suggests it was a ringfort, possibly a rath (diam. c. 25m).
