The National Monuments Service's description
Some 50m to the SE of a rath (GA114-071----). Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 60m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) cut by a NW-SE running field boundary at N and E. No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence suggests that it was a ringfort, probably a rath.
