In pasture on the S-facing slope of an ENE-WSW ridge, overlooking a shallow valley to E. Hachured on both the first (1842) and Cassini (1916) editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Classified as an enclosure in the RMP (1996). A circular bivallate rath (diams. 42.9m N-S; 40.7m E-W) is defined by an inner earthen bank, a fosse and a second, outer earthen bank. The inner bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) has been reduced to a scarp (max. H 1.5m) from E-SE-SW. The fosse is round-bottomed (Wth at top 6.6-7.4m; D 0.6m) and can be traced from E-S-NW. The outer bank (Wth c. 2.5m; ext. H 0.2m) is extant from E-SE-SW. There is an entrance (Wth 2.4m) at E. The banks are covered in scrub and the outer bank is overlain by a later drystone wall from SW-W-WNW.
