The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on an E-W rise or low ridge, providing good views to N and S.
This enclosure, possibly a rath, is shown on the 1919 OS 6-inch map as a roughly subcircular hachured area (diam. c. 30-35m), truncated at its W and N edges by later field boundaries. It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level bar the hint of a curving scarp at S, merging with a natural fall of ground. There is a rath (MA062-055----) 130m to ENE.
