On N-facing slope of a ridge in grassland overlooking a stream to NW. Poorly preserved originally subcircular rath (N-S 52.5m, E-W 49m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse from SW through N to E. Apart from a low rise at S, no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. Gaps at SW and E may be modern. Field walls cut the monument at NE and S. (Neary 1914, 119, no. 47)
