The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on elevated ground. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), incorporated into the junction of four modern rectangular fields. The enclosure was levelled in the past, and there is no visible trace at ground level; its location and size suggest that it may have been a ringfort (Morahan 2001, 107).
