The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A circular area (24m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.05m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.65m) which is incorporated into the field boundary system S-N. There is a possible entrance (Wth c. 3m) at NE with two smaller gaps (Wth c. 2.2m) at ENE and E. The interior slopes down to the S. Two other raths (KE057-045----, KE057-046----) lie c. 80m to the NE and c. 250m to the E, respectively.
