The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight S-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single continuous fosse (Wth c. 3-4m) is visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It is truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at W and is not visible W of that feature. The enclosure (ME017-067----) is c. 50m to the SE. The rath is also visible on Google Earth (12/07/2013; 02/07/2018). Enclosure (ME017-064----) is c. 150m to the NE. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy and was also noted by Jean Charles Caillere.
