On a gentle SE-facing slope in pastureland. This circular rath (D 33m) is defined by a scarp (H 0.6-1.3m). A number of field boundaries cut across the monument, one running ENE-WSW roughly divides it. Two other field boundaries extend off this one and run NE-SW, almost parallel to each other, and cut across the scarp at N and NNE. The area to the N of the dividing wall is heavily overgrown with trees and bramble, while the area to the S of it is clear of overgrowth. A levelled bank is visible in the in the W sector of this half. Some old cars and rubbish had been dumped outside the scarp at NE.
