Marked as a cirucular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50-55m) surrounded by a field bank W-N-E on the 1839 and 1921 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a SE-facing slope. The site has been removed but it is possible to trace the outline of two banks and an intervening fosse as a vegetation mark (int. diam. 31m; max. ext. dim. 59m). There is a break in the outer bank SE–SSW. It is visible as a cropmark on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2005) and on Google Earth (2011). Two fosses are visible on later Google Earth images as reported by Simon Dowling. Rath (WX018-019----) is c. 80m to the SE.

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.
