The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) on the 1837 and 1928 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight S-facing slope. It was removed before the 1970s (CUCAP: BDK 71) and is not visible at ground level in pasture but it can be seen as a cropmark of a circular enclosure defined by the parch mark of a bank with an outer fosse on OSI aerial images (2005). Rath (RO041-015----) is c. 10m to the W.
