The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low-lying, gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30-35m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 3-5m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (43) 2-5, 27-32) and digital aerial photographs (WX047-137_1 to _4). There are gaps at E and NW. The enclosure (WX047-137002-) is attached to the SW and appears to be contemporary as the defining fosse of the enclosure is connected to the fosse of the rath at SW.
