The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level, low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a sub-rectangular enclosure (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NE-SW) is visible on an aerial photograph (ACAP) from the 1960s (Buckley 1987, 20-1). It is defined by a single fosse feature and is immediately to the NE of rath (LH019-013----). It is also visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995).
