The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, immediately to NE of a rath (MA091-026001-). A field boundary is visible on an aerial photo (SMR file: GSI M 99 –100; Roll 213, pr. 24) skirting the N side of the rath and extending to NW for c. 80m. Inspected in 1998, the field boundary had been removed during land reclamation works and a cropmark (L c. 20m; Wth c. 3m) was visible immediately to NW of the rath. The field boundary is of unknown date, but its alignment runs counter to the present-day N-S and E-W layout of fields.
