On a SE-facing slope in undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (E-W 42m, N-S 39.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The latter is present from NNW through E to SSW. The bank is overlain throughout by a stone wall, and the numerous gaps in it appear modern. (Neary 1914, 116, no. 114)
