The National Monuments Service's description
Located on low rise in undulating average pasture. This possible rath is shown on the 1837-8 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure. It has been levelled; a roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. c. 20m), defined by a slight scarp/levelled bank, is still evident. There is a small enclosure (MA031-058----), also leveled, 50m to NE.
