The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1837 ed. and as a curving field boundary on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on a gentle E-facing slope, a curving field wall and hedge survive NW-NE, but no other feature is visible in pasture. It was probably a rath and the possible rath (RO029-102----) is c. 190m to the SSW.
