The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a ridge. A trapezoidal-shaped area (c. 80m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by two earthen banks and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). The inner (Wth 0.4m; H 0.35m) and outer (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) banks are c. 2m apart and the intervening area is crossed in places by short stretches of bank. A rath (SL026-099----) forms the NW corner of this area. This area is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as planted with trees and is likely to be an estate feature and date from the post-1700 AD period.
