In open pastureland sloping to the SE and S. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A subcircular rath (22m NW-SE; 18m NE-SW) defined by a steep scarp (max. H 1m) in the E and S sectors. The scarp reduced in height towards the N and SSW, where it was no longer visible. A field wall defined it at NW and a second wall cut across the SW section of the interior. Another rath (CL016-118----) is located c. 100m to the WNW.
