The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a level area of a N-facing slope. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) is visible in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2118-9) taken in 1989 as the cropmark of a fosse and an outer bank. The fosse and bank are less clearly defined along the E arc. This possible rath is not visible at ground level.
