The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a low rise. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a large oval embanked enclosure; on the 1930 edition it is shown as penannular area (c. 50m−S; c. 45m E−W), with a large break in the bank at E–S, and an E–W field boundary truncating the outer edge of the bank at S. It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
