Marked as a large enclosure (diam. c. 135m) on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and visible as a large subcircular enclosure on aerial photographs (CUCAP: AVH 69-70) where it is overlain by a NW-SE field bank, now removed. It is situated on a gentle SE-facing slope at the SE end of a broad NW-SE ridge. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 108m NW-SE; c. 90m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.3-0.4m) NW-NE, a scarp (H 0.2-0.3m) NE-S and an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) S-SW. At the centre are traces of a rectangular enclosure (RO034-067002-) (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m). This is connected to the perimeter of the enclosure at N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m). The barrows (RO034-0660001-; RO034-066002-) are on higher ground c. 75m and c. 130m to the W and the raths (RO034-068----; RO-034-069----) are c. 30m and c. 50m to the SE. (Knox 1918a, 159-160)
