The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape and visible on aerial photographs (MM (43) 16-21). The area surrounding rath (WX047-135001-) is covered in the cropmarks of single drains creating rectangular fields (dims c. 20m x c. 50m to c. 50m x c. 50m) covering an area of c. 3 ha. The drains appear to overlie the enclosures and ring-ditches, and no breaks are visible in the drains that probably represent an 18th century field system.
