The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m) cut by a NE-SW field bank and townland boundary with Farnbeg at NW on the 1837 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a level landscape. Gannon (1972) records fragments of an earthen bank and outer fosse at NE and SW, but these are no longer visible at ground level in pasture. Rath (RO029-021----) is c. 140m to the SW.
