The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW slope of a low rise in pasture. In the summer of 1975 (SMR file) an almost circular area (int. diam. 31m) was indicated by a change in vegetation: a band (Wth 4-5m) of parched pasture from NW-E-SW. The band may have marked the line of the levelled bank of a rath. Not visible at ground level.
