The National Monuments Service's description
HEV summary
On a small area of level ground on a gentle SW-facing slope in improved pasture, drained by a small E-flowing stream c. 80m to the S. Although reported as a possible fulacht fia (SMR file), the site appears to be a small subcircular enclosure (ext. diams. 16m N–S; 14m E–W) defined by a low bank (int. H 0.2m; Wth 2m; ext. H 0.8m) along the S which has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-1m) elsewhere. A small portion (Wth 2m) of the perimeter has been dug away at SW. Cleared field stones may have been dumped on the interior which is overgrown with grasses, briars, nettles, rushes and wild flowers. The site is overlooked by a rath (MA060-025----) c. 80m to the NE and a possible fulacht fia (MA070-045----) lies c. 20m to the SSW.
