The National Monuments Service's description
Located just SW of a local summit in a fairly level landscape. The outermost fosse of rath (ME036-007----) is entangled at SW with a ring-ditch (diam. c. 20m) defined by a single fosse feature which is visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: NDU 51; BGH 81) taken in 1968 before the land was developed a golf course.
