On a hillock in level farmland. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (27.3m NE-SW) defined by a collapsed bank of earth and stone from N through E to WSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field boundary overlies the bank from N to NE. A hollow (L 4m; Wth 2m) is visible in the interior.
