The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the S-facing slope of a low NE-SW ridge. It is not visible at ground level in pasture, and it may be a mistaken location for the bowl barrow (RO006-155----), c. 90m to the N which is not on the 1837 ed. of the map. Rath (RO006-154----) is c. 140m to the WSW, and the trivallate rath (RO006-153001-) is c. 90m to the NW.
