The National Monuments Service's description
On a broad E-W pasture ridge. The rath (RO022-102001-) was described in 1979 as being within a later field system of large rectangular fields (SMR file), and three relict field banks (L c. 500m) placed c. 100m apart can be seen running E-W on aerial photographs (ACAP: V206/5, 6). These are no longer visible at ground level.
