The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on top of an elevation, with extensive views S to Mangerton Mountain. In the 1990s a 'fort' was recorded in Paddy Donoghue's land (CPCK 2002, vol. 3). This rath is not visible at ground level. According to local information, it was levelled many years ago and it had a souterrain (KE067-095----) in it.
