The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a chord of an earthen bank situated towards the E end of an E-W ridge and just SW of rath (RO022-018001-). An arc (C 16m) of an earthen bank (Wth 7.5m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 2.3m) survives E-S and remained unplanted in a coniferous forest in the 1990s but is now in pasture. There is no visible fosse.
