The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped feature (dim. c. 30m NW-SE) truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW on the 1914 ed. Situated on a steep NW-facing slope and described as a slight arc of a bank (Gannon 1972) which is no longer visible in improved pasture. It was probably a rath. Rath (RO023-014001-) is c. 100m to the ESE.
