What is recorded here
No visible wall remains, but a house and garden now occupy the ring marked on the 1837 and 1930 maps, while another rath waits seventy metres to the northeast. The fort has not disappeared so much as been absorbed, its ancient line hidden beneath domestic life on the ridge.
In pasture, located on rise at NW end of a NW-SE ridge. A rath (MA030-077----) is located c. 70m to NE.
This possible rath is depicted on the 1837 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m), incorporated into later field fences at E−S. There are no remains visible at ground level; the location is partly overlain by a modern house and garden.
