The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the break of a SE-facing slope. The rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 and 1895 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) with field boundaries radiating from the SE and SW arcs. A possible souterrain (KE057-028001-) is associated with this rath.
