On a NE-facing slope in pasture. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. c. 22m) defined by a steep-sided scarp with a wide, shallow, external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. Within the interior is a low irregularly shaped mound (H c. 1m). This rath appears to have been modified and reused as a landscape feature in relatively modern times.
