On the summit of a hillock in undulating grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (E-W 41m, N-S 36m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive from SE through S to W; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. There is an entrance causeway at E. According to local information, there is a 'tunnel' (possible souterrain) in the interior at N which could be entered by lifting a 'large slab'. No visible surface trace survives. (Knight c. 1975, 111)
