The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a flat area in the S corner of a field, c. 80m S of a road. The possible rath is not visible at ground level. According to the landowner, it was levelled in the 1970s. It is indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 and 1939 OS 6-inch maps.
