The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W-facing slope of a ridge in undulating pasture. Two conjoined enclosures are marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Only the NE half of this, the second, and the larger of the two, is depicted on the OS 6-inch map. It is shown as abutting the ENE side of the first, a rath (SL013-063001-). This monument has been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level.
