The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle N-facing slope. Described as a D-shaped area defined by a semicircular bank W-N-E cut by an E-W field wall at S with a hut-site (RO026-009002-) against the inside of the bank at N (Gannon 1972). It is not now visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture. Rath (RO026-011001-) is c. 90m to the SW.
