The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. There is a farmstead immediately to E. A roughly circular rath-like embanked enclosure is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map, and a circular hachured enclosure (diam. c. 20m), bisected on NE-SW axis by laneway, is shown on 25-inch plan; it is not shown on 1922 OS 6-inch edition. This enclosure has been levelled; there is no visible surface trace at ground level, bar a slight rise without a clearly defined outline. It is bisected roughly centrally by NE-SW field wall.
There is a wedge tomb (MA040-094) 20m to ENE.
