The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in the SE corner of a rectangular modern field, located on a roughly E–W rise with good views in all directions. The Gweestion River is 350m to NE.
A circular enclosure (diam. 20-25m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains. There is a disused sandpit (diam. c. 10m) on the rise and an E−W field fence crosses the S edge of the rise. There are raths (MA071-012----; MA071-014----; MA071-015----) 180m to N, 190m to NE and 130m to SE, respectively.
