The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m), and situated at the E edge of a slight plateau in an undulating landscape. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m) NE-SE but the monument is truncated by a N-S field wall at W and does not survive visibly W of it. The possible rath (RO051-029----) is c. 130m to the SSW.
