It appears only on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map as a roughly circular embankment about twenty metres across in the southeast corner of a small field. Field boundaries to the east and south may have cut into the structure.
In waterlogged pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) in the SE corner of a small field and possibly truncated slightly by field boundaries to E and S.
