The National Monuments Service's description
On a prominent NW-SE ridge in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Bull Ring' on all eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed by a largely levelled bank of earth and stone. The original entrance was not recognisable. The report suggested that the rath had been reused as an animal enclosure. Not visible at ground level.
