What is recorded here
In level grassland overlooking bogland to the N. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (42m N-S; 38m E-W) is defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank, which is overgrown with hawthorn trees, is visible from S through W to NE, while the fosse only survives from W to WNW. A field bank cuts through the monument at NE and S and no visible surface trace survives to the E of it. A gap (Wth 2m) at N appears to be modern. Lazy-beds are visible in the interior.
