Circular area (28m N-S; 31m E-W) surrounded by remains of earthen bank. No visible trace of fosse. Gaps at E and WNW; latter is possibly original. Man-made underground passage (MO029-008002-) SW of centre.
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
