On the E end of a short ridge in fertile pasture, S of a marshy estuary with good views all around. A subcircular enclosure (diam. 23.25m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by a round-topped earth and gravel bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.2-0.9m; ext. H 0.5-1.35m) from NNE to NNW. At N it has been reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.9m) at ESE with smaller cattle gaps at S and WSW. A fair amount of cattle poaching is evident along the NW and SW sectors as well as at the ESE entrance. The interior is slightly higher in the centre than at the perimeter and slopes down to the N. A band of rushes around the perimeter at S noted on a field inspection in 1998 is only now evident at SW. A bivallate rath (CL015-092----) lies 45m to the W on the same ridge.
