What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. c. 43.6m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There is a stone-lined entrance causeway at E. A modern field wall cuts through the monument at N and SE, and another cuts the outer bank at SSE. No trace of the fosse or outer bank survive from SW to W where a pathway runs adjacent to the monument.
