The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located at the junction of field walls on a low N-S ridge.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small circular feature at the junction of three field boundaries; not shown on later map editions. Roughly square feature (7m E-W, c. 5-7m N-S) defined on E, S and W sides by a bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.7m) of earth and stone, and on the N side by a field wall. Another field wall on a N-S axis abuts the bank at the S. The function of this feature is unclear –it may be the remains of a small structure or hut. It is partly obscured by gorse and hawthorn. A rath (MA040-040----) and souterrain (MA040-040001-) are located 50m to N.
