The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope, immediately SW of a road. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. A septic tank for a modern house to the SE, is now situated in the approximate location of the possible rath. It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a hachured D-shaped area (c. 20m NE-SW) with a straight NE side (L c. 40m) formed by a NW-SE field boundary. Three raths (KE058-075----, KE058-73----, KE058-76----) lie c. 130m to the SSW, c. 150m to the NNW and c. 175m to the N, respectively.
