The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. When initially visited by the Survey in May 1983, very slight traces of scarping and
the associated souterrain (GA125-077001-) suggested the presence of a possible rath. However, during a revisit in 1985 no visible surface trace of the scarping survived.
