The National Monuments Service's description
Circular enclosure indicated on the 'OSI 1st edition map' (map dims. diam. c. 46m). Area named 'Knockrath' on the 1937 OSI 6-inch map although the enclosure appears to have been levelled by then. No evidence for this was found when the area was being developed in 1989 (SMR file).
