The National Monuments Service's description
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30-40m) defined by a fosse, visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (22) 19-21, August 1996). It is located c. 590m SW of 'Highrath' which is the name given to a settlement cluster on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and is also on the 1948 revision and the 25-inch OS map. It is possible that this is the unlocated enclosure (KK027-055----) which Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 330) refers to as being in, 'High Rath, a sub-division of Castle Eve, is so called from an ancient fort long since levelled'.
