The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views S to The Paps of Dana. This rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch maps. According to local information, the field in which it was situated is known as 'the fort field'. There is a possible souterrain (KE068-020001-) in the interior.
