The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, located on the SE-facing slope of a ridge. A rath (MA039-074001-) crowns the top of the ridge 100m to NE. A small circular embanked enclosure (diam. 10-15m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but not on later map editions. It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
