The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the base of the N-facing slope of a ridge.
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m), outlined by a solid line and planted with trees, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level.
A rath (MA080-046001-) is located on top of the ridge c. 50m to SSW, and there is a holy well (MA080-046002-) c. 70m to S.
