The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, in undulating land. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, it was levelled in the 1970s at which time a hollowed-out stone was found. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly D-shaped enclosure (dim. c. 25m N-S) with an almost straight S side (L 30m). On the 1895 OS 6-inch map the NE arc is indicated as a hachured scarp. A souterrain (KE057-022001-) is associated with this rath.
