The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in moderately drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that part of this rath (diam. c. 45m) had been recently ploughed. The outline of the bank was indicated by a semicircle of light-coloured clay. It is not visible at ground level.
