On a hillock in pastureland. This subcircular rath (38m N-S; 31m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank ( Wth 4m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m) is visible from SSE through W to NNE; it is overgrown with trees from N to NNE and from SSE to SSW. A scarp forms the enclosing element from NNE to SSE. Small gaps at ESE and WSW are the result of quarrying. The fosse (Wth 3.3m) is best preserved from S through W to N. It is overgrown with trees from N to NE and from SSE to SW; from NE to SSE a field wall overlies it. The outer bank survives from SSE to SSW and from NW to N. It is best preserved at S (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.2m).
