On a rise in undulating grassland. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 28.5m) is defined by a bank from S through W to N; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere and a number of quarry pits have been dug into the line of the bank from N to NNE. There are traces of a berm immediately outside the bank from S to W and a shed and silage pit have been constructed at NE.
