The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in the SE corner of a field, on a S-facing slope. This rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, there was a circular feature at this location up to some time ago. An arc (C 45m) of the bank S-N is visible in aerial photographs (GSIAP, V 396, W 447) taken in 1977. This arc, along with field boundaries at E and S, enclose an area (diam. 40m) in the SE corner of the field.
