On a ridge in grassland overlooking a turlough. Poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (NNW-SSE 25.5m, NNE-SSW 22.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is extant from ENE through S to WNW; elsewhere the td. boundary forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SSW to W. Immediately outside the bank at E and S are two small quarries.
