The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) abutted by NE-SW and N-S field boundaries along the N and E arcs, respectively. It is indicated on the 1939 OS 6-inch map by an arc of hachures NW-NE.
