The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the summit of a broad hill. The cropmark of a small enclosure (int. diam. c. 6m) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 2m) is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018; 14/07/2019). The perimeter at S is destroyed by a pit and the ring-ditch is within a small enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) connected by relict field drains to the perimeter of rath (ME050-050001-) c. 45m to the SSE. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
