In grassland adjacent to a farm house. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (53.5m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by a bank best preserved in the N sector. The E and S sectors have been incorporated into later field boundaries. A gap (Wth 3m) at W may be original. A NNE-SSW field wall cuts through the monument at WNW and WSW and the line of the bank in the W sector is visible c. 5m to its W. The interior is now used as a vegetable garden.
