The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A short stretch of a curving bank, abutting the S side of an E-W field boundary, may be part of the E arc of this possible rath. The possible rath is visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, W 142-3), taken in 1973, as the faint cropmark of a fosse. This cropmark encloses a roughly circular area (diam. c. 60m), the N portion of which is crossed by an E-W field boundary.
