The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle SW-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 31.5m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3-6m; int. H 0.15-0.25m; ext. H 0.25-0.8m), and an outer fosse (Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 3m; D 0.1m) S-SW. There is an entrance (Wth 2.5m) at S, and the perimeter is slightly truncated by a N-S field bank at W. The rath (RO044-007----) is c. 190m to the SSE.
