The National Monuments Service's description
On the SE end of a NW-SE ridge, on the E edge of the floor of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. On the 1946-7 OS 6-inch map revision the enclosure is indicated as a circular tree-ring. The field has subsequently been reclaimed and the enclosure levelled. According to the landowner the enclosure was known locally as a 'rath'. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
